I7ie instances utilize 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, offering up to 40% better compute performance and larger local NVMe storage capacities—up to 120TB—compared to the prior I3en generation. These features cater to applications requiring fast, consistent low-latency storage access alongside higher vCPU and memory resources.
The instances deliver significant improvements in real-time storage performance and reduced I/O latency variability using 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs. Availability includes various instance sizes, with network bandwidth up to 100Gbps and EBS bandwidth up to 60Gbps, designed for large-scale storage-optimized deployment scenarios.
