EC2 Instance Type – i3en.6xlarge
The i3en.6xlarge instance is part of the i3en series, featuring 24 vCPUs and 25 Gigabit of RAM, with Storage Optimized. It is available at a rate of $2.7120/hour.
i3en Family :
This instance family provides dense Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) SSD storage optimized for low latency, high random I/O performance, and high sequential disk throughput. It offers the lowest price per GB of SSD instance storage available on Amazon EC2. I3en also includes Bare Metal instances (i3en.metal) for non-virtualized workloads or those that benefit from physical resource access or have license limitations.
Features
Features up to 60 TB of NVMe SSD instance storage
Delivers up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth using ENA-based Enhanced Networking
Provides high random I/O performance and high sequential disk throughput
Equipped with up to 3.1 GHz Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors (Skylake 8175M or Cascade Lake 8259CL), featuring the Intel Advanced Vector Extension (AVX-512) instruction set
Based on the AWS Nitro System, combining dedicated hardware with a lightweight hypervisor
Offers a bare metal instance size for workloads that benefit from direct access to physical processors and memory
Supports Elastic Fabric Adapter on the i3en.24xlarge instance type
