New EC2 T8i Instances Launched
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the general availability of its new low-cost burstable Amazon EC2 T8i instances. These instances are powered by custom sixth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Granite Rapids), exclusively available on AWS.
Performance and Cost Improvements
T8i instances provide up to 30% better price performance compared to the previous generation T3 instances. They also deliver up to 70% higher compute performance, up to 1.25x higher network bandwidth, and up to 2.4x higher EBS bandwidth.
These instances are among the lowest-cost EC2 options and are suitable for workloads such as freemium services, training and demo environments, staging and development, data processing, microservices, low-traffic websites, and login gateways.
Seamless Upgrade Path
Existing T3 customers can upgrade to T8i instances directly. The T8i instances utilize the same CPU credit system and lightweight compute options as T3, allowing for a straightforward migration to benefit from improved price performance.
