EC2 Instance Type – i3.8xlarge
The i3.8xlarge instance is part of the i3 series, featuring 32 vCPUs and 10 Gigabit of RAM, with Storage Optimized. It is available at a rate of $2.4960/hour.
i3 Family :
This instance family features Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSD-backed storage, optimized for low latency, very high random I/O performance, and high sequential read throughput, offering high IOPS at a cost-effective rate. Additionally, the I3 series includes Bare Metal instances (i3.metal), powered by the Nitro System, for workloads requiring direct access to physical resources or those with licensing constraints.
Features
Utilizes high-frequency Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Broadwell E5-2686 v4) with a base frequency of 2.3 GHz
Provides up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth using ENA-based Enhanced Networking
Delivers high random I/O performance and high sequential read throughput
Includes a bare metal instance option for workloads that benefit from direct access to physical processors and memory
