EC2 Instance family: m6a
The Amazon EC2 m6a instance type is powered by 3rd generation AMD EPYC processors, code-named Milan, which feature an all-core turbo frequency of 3.6 GHz. These general-purpose instances were made generally available on November 29, 2021. They offer a compelling balance of compute, memory, and networking resources, providing up to 35% better price-performance compared to the previous M5a instances and a 10% lower cost than comparable x86-based EC2 instances.
Key features of m6a instances include support for AMD Transparent Single Key Memory Encryption (TSME) for data encryption in physical memory and new Advanced Vector Extension (AVX-2) instructions. Built on the AWS Nitro System, m6a instances deliver up to 50 Gbps of networking speed and up to 40 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) in their largest sizes. They are SAP-Certified and support instance sizes up to 192 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory, with Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) available on the 48xlarge size.
