In August, we launched the general-purpose Amazon EC2 M6i cases powered by the most recent era Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Ice Lake) with an all-core turbo frequency of three.5 GHz. Compute-optimized EC2 C6i cases had been additionally made accessible final month.
In the present day, I’m joyful to share that we’re increasing our sixth-generation x86-based choices to incorporate memory-optimized Amazon EC2 R6i cases.
Right here’s a fast recap of the benefits of the brand new R6i cases in comparison with R5 cases:
- A bigger occasion dimension (r6i.32xlarge) with 128 vCPUs and 1,024 GiB of reminiscence that makes it simpler and extra cost-efficient to consolidate workloads and scale up purposes
- As much as 15 p.c enchancment in compute value/efficiency
- As much as 20 p.c greater reminiscence bandwidth
- As much as 40 Gbps for Amazon Elastic Block Retailer (EBS) and 50 Gbps for networking which is 2x greater than R5 cases
- All the time-on reminiscence encryption.
R6i cases are SAP Licensed and are a perfect match for memory-intensive workloads akin to SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed internet scale in-memory caches like Memcached and Redis, in-memory databases, and real-time massive knowledge analytics like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark clusters.
In comparison with M6i and C6i cases, the one distinction is within the quantity of reminiscence that’s included per vCPU. R6i cases can be found in ten sizes:
| Identify | vCPUs | Reminiscence (GiB) |
Community Bandwidth (Gbps) |
EBS Throughput (Gbps) |
| r6i.giant | 2 | 16 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
| r6i.xlarge | four | 32 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
| r6i.2xlarge | eight | 64 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
| r6i.4xlarge | 16 | 128 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
| r6i.8xlarge | 32 | 256 | 12.5 | 10 |
| r6i.12xlarge | 48 | 384 | 18.75 | 15 |
| r6i.16xlarge | 64 | 512 | 25 | 20 |
| r6i.24xlarge | 96 | 768 | 37.5 | 30 |
| r6i.32xlarge | 128 | 1024 | 50 | 40 |
| r6i.metallic | 128 | 1024 | 50 | 40 |
Like M6i and C6i cases, these new R6i cases are constructed on the AWS Nitro System, which is a set of constructing blocks that offloads most of the conventional virtualization capabilities to devoted , delivering excessive efficiency, excessive availability, and extremely safe cloud cases.
As with all sixth era EC2 cases, you might have to improve your Elastic Community Adapter (ENA) for optimum networking efficiency. For extra info, see this text about migrating an EC2 occasion to a sixth-generation occasion within the AWS Data Middle.
R6i cases help Elastic Material Adapter (EFA) on r6i.32xlarge and r6i.metallic cases for workloads that profit from decrease community latency, akin to HPC and video processing.
Availability and Pricing
EC2 R6i cases can be found at the moment in 4 AWS Areas: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), Europe (Eire). As standard with EC2, you pay for what you utilize. For extra info, see the EC2 pricing web page.
