Starting today, Amazon EC2 Is4gen instances, the latest generation storage-optimized instances, are available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) region. Based on the AWS Nitro System, Is4gen instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and are built using AWS Nitro SSDs which reduce both latency and latency variability compared to the third generation of EC2 storage optimized instances.
Is4gen instances provide dense SSD storage per vCPU for applications requiring high random I/O access to large amounts of local SSD data, such as stream processing and monitoring, real-time databases, and log analytics.
These instances can utilize AWS Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) and take advantage of Amazon’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for security and reliability.
Get started with Is4gen instances by visiting the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs. To learn more, visit the Is4gen instances page.
