AWS has created a new instance size, m6i.32xlarge, that consists of 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory, which is a 33% increase on the largest M5 instance, and has 20% higher memory bandwidth per vCPU thanks to Elastic Fabric Adapter. Otherwise, M6i instances are available with 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, or 96 vCPUs. M6 instances are available today in US East, US West, Frankfurt, Ireland, and Singapore regions as on-demand purchases, or with savings plans, reserved instances, spot instances, dedicated instances or dedicated hosts. Last month, AWS warned users to get off EC2-Classic instances ahead of its shutdown. On October 30, AWS will disable EC2-Classic in Regions for AWS accounts that have no active EC2-Classic resources in the region, and the company will not sell one-year and three-year reserved instances. AWS expects migrations to be complete by August 2022.
