m5n Family :
Amazon EC2 M5 instances are well-suited for workloads that need a balanced mix of compute, memory, and networking resources, such as web and application servers, small to mid-sized databases, cluster computing, gaming servers, and caching fleets. For applications requiring enhanced network throughput and packet rate performance, the higher bandwidth variants, M5n and M5dn, are the ideal choice.
Features
Equipped with 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Cascade Lake 8259CL), featuring a sustained all-core Turbo CPU frequency of 3.1 GHz and a maximum single-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz
Supports Intel Vector Neural Network Instructions (AVX-512 VNNI) for enhanced performance in machine learning operations such as convolution, improving inference across a variety of deep learning tasks
Offers up to 25 Gbps of peak network bandwidth on smaller instance sizes
Provides up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth on the largest instance size
Requires HVM AMIs with drivers for ENA and NVMe
Powered by the AWS Nitro System, combining dedicated hardware with a lightweight hypervisor
Provides instance storage through EBS or NVMe SSDs physically attached to the host server
M5dn instances feature local NVMe-based SSDs directly connected to the host server, offering block-level storage tied to the instance’s lifetime
