AWS – Announcing new Amazon EC2 M9g instances powered by AWS Graviton5 processors (Preview)

Starting today, new general purpose Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M9g instances, powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, are available in preview. AWS Graviton5 is the latest in the Graviton family of processors that are custom designed by AWS to provide the best price performance for workloads in Amazon EC2. These instances offer up to 25% better compute performance, and higher networking and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth than AWS Graviton4-based M8g instances. They are up to 30% faster for databases, up to 35% faster web applications, and up to 35% faster for machine learning workloads compared to M8g.

M9g instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, a collection of hardware and software innovations designed by AWS. The AWS Nitro System enables the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multitenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. Amazon EC2 M9g instances are ideal for workloads such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets.
