Offering dedicated bandwidth to Amazon EBS, AWS has unveiled M4, the next generation of Amazon EC2 General Purpose instances.
The company said the solution also delivers processing power with custom 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 Haswell processors and provides Enhanced Networking for higher PPS performance, lower network jitter, and lower network latencies.
The technology can be used in different applications including relational and in-memory databases, gaming servers, caching fleets, batch processing, and business applications like SAP and Microsoft SharePoint.
AWS said the solution can be launched using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS SDKs, and third-party libraries.
M4 is available in five different instance sizes ranging from two vCPUs with 8GB of memory (m4.large) to 40 vCPUs and 160GB of memory (m4.10xlarge).
Matt Garman, VP of Amazon EC2 at AWS said: "Amazon EC2 provides a comprehensive selection of instances to support virtually any workload, and we continue to deliver new technologies and high performance in our current generation instances.
"We are also pleased to deliver even better network performance with dedicated bandwidth to Amazon EBS and Enhanced Networking, an Amazon EC2 feature that we are providing, for the first time, to General Purpose Instances."
