is4gen Family :
Amazon EC2 Is4gen instances, powered by AWS Graviton2 processors, provide the most cost-effective SSD storage per terabyte and the highest SSD storage density per vCPU for storage-intensive workloads in Amazon EC2. They offer up to 15% lower storage costs per terabyte and up to 48% improved compute performance per vCPU compared to I3en instances.
Features
Utilizes AWS Graviton2 processors
Provides up to 30 TB of NVMe SSD instance storage with AWS Nitro SSDs, delivering 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
Designed for workloads that require approximately 6 GB of memory per vCPU
Offers 50% more NVMe SSD storage per vCPU compared to I3en instances
Provides up to 50 Gbps of network bandwidth using ENA-based Enhanced Networking
Allows up to 19 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
Based on the AWS Nitro System, combining dedicated hardware with a lightweight hypervisor
Includes support for Torn Write Prevention (TWP) to improve performance and reduce latency for database workloads like MySQL and MariaDB

Use Cases
These instances excel at processing a high number of transactions per second (TPS) for I/O intensive applications dealing with large data sets. They provide the highest NVMe storage density per vCPU, making them suitable for NoSQL databases (KeyDB, MongoDB, ScyllaDB, Cassandra) with large data volumes. They are also ideal for applications needing substantial storage density and fast access to large data sets on local storage, such as search engines (Splunk, Elasticsearch), data streaming, and extensive distributed file systems.
