I wonder why they didn't launch i3 style instances. Would ARM give benefit in IO heavy workloads?

- colechristensen 7y agoAWS did some custom hardware for their i3 style instances which would be a significant effort to recreate on a difference processor/system architecture.
- _msw_ 7y agoDisclosure: I work at AWS on EC2 infrastructure We'll be launching configurations of these Graviton2 powered instances with local NVMe storage. The largest sizes will have a good bit of local storage, though not as much as I3. There are some really exciting numbers from customers building ultra high performance database engines who have early access. They'll be in the updated CMP322 talk at re:Invent today. https://www.portal.reinvent.awsevents.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=98895 https://www.portal.reinvent.awsevents.com/connect/sessionDet...
