These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads many of the traditional virtualization functions to dedicated hardware, that enable the delivery of high availability, and highly-secure cloud instances. These instances offer up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth, and up to 19 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). The C6gd instances also offer up to 3.8 TB of NVMe-based SSD storage.
