im4gn Family :

Amazon EC2 Im4gn instances, also utilizing AWS Graviton2 processors, offer the best price-performance for storage-heavy applications in Amazon EC2. These instances deliver up to 40% better price-performance and up to 44% reduced cost per terabyte of storage compared to I3 instances.

Features

  • Powered by AWS Graviton2 processors

  • Features up to 30 TB of NVMe SSD instance storage with AWS Nitro SSDs, offering up to 60% lower I/O latency and up to 75% reduction in latency variability compared to I3 and I3en instances, with always-on encryption

  • Optimized for workloads that require around 4 GB of memory per vCPU

  • Provides twice the NVMe SSD storage density per vCPU compared to I3 instances

  • Delivers up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth using ENA-based Enhanced Networking

  • Supports Elastic Fabric Adapter on the im4gn.16xlarge instance type

  • Allows up to 38 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

  • Based on the AWS Nitro System, featuring dedicated hardware and a lightweight hypervisor

  • Includes support for Torn Write Prevention (TWP) to enhance performance and reduce latency for database workloads such as MySQL and MariaDB

Use Cases

These instances are optimized to handle a high number of transactions per second (TPS) for I/O demanding and critical business applications that work with medium-sized data sets. They offer high compute performance and network throughput, making them ideal for relational databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (KeyDB, ScyllaDB, Cassandra). They are also well-suited for tasks requiring rapid access to medium-sized data sets on local storage, such as search engines and data analytics applications.
