Amazon EC2 I4i instances now available in AWS Europe (Spain) region

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of Amazon EC2 I4i Instances in the AWS Europe (Spain) region. Designed for large I/O intensive storage workloads, these instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) and deliver high local storage performance within Amazon EC2 using 2nd generation AWS Nitro NVMe SSDs.

I4i instances offer up to 30 TB of NVMe storage from Amazon Nitro SSDs and Torn Write Prevention (TWP) feature which can improve database transactions per seconds without compromising resiliency. These instances deliver high performance and are ideal for databases such as MySQL, Oracle DB, and Microsoft SQL Server, and NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, Couchbase, Aerospike, and Redis where low latency local NVMe storage is needed in order to meet application service level agreements (SLAs). I4i instances offer up to 75 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).

Customers can purchase the I4i instances via Savings Plans, Reserved, On-Demand, and Spot instances.
