For increased scalability, M6a instances provide three new instance sizes: 32xlarge, 48xlarge, and bare-metal sizes. M6a instances have 192 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory as their largest instance size. These instances are SAP certified and give customers up to 50 Gbps of networking speed and 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store. These instances can also utilize Elastic Fabric Adapter, which enables low latency and highly-scalable inter-node communication for workloads such as High Performance Computing (HPC) and video processing.
M6a instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Mumbai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), and South America (Sao Paulo).
