M9g instances offer up to 25% better compute performance, and higher networking and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth than AWS Graviton4-based M8g instances. They are up to 30% faster for databases, up to 35% faster for web applications, and up to 35% faster for machine learning workloads compared to M8g instances. These instances are ideal for workloads such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. Benefits High performance M9g instances deliver up to 25% better performance over Graviton4-based M8g instances. These instances are ideal for workloads such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. Maximized resource efficiency M9g instances are built on the AWS Nitro System. The AWS Nitro System is a combination of dedicated hardware and a lightweight hypervisor that delivers isolated multitenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. Extensive software support AWS Graviton-based instances are supported by most popular Linux operating systems. Many popular applications and services for security, monitoring and management, containers, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) from AWS and software partners also support AWS Graviton-based instances. The AWS Graviton Ready program offers certified solutions from AWS Partner software vendors that you can use on AWS Graviton-based instances. Features Powered by AWS Graviton5 processors AWS Graviton5 is the latest generation of server processors designed by AWS that provide the best price performance for workloads in Amazon EC2. AWS Graviton5 processors deliver up to 25% better compute performance than Graviton4 processors. Enhanced security AWS Graviton5 processors offer enhanced security with always-on memory encryption, dedicated caches for every vCPU, and support for pointer authentication. M9g instances also support encrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Built on the AWS Nitro System The AWS Nitro System is a rich collection of building blocks that offloads many of the traditional virtualization functions to dedicated hardware and software. It delivers high performance, high availability, and high security, thus reducing virtualization overhead. AWS Graviton5 introduces Nitro Isolation Engine as an enhancement to the Nitro System, harnessing formal verification to provide mathematical certainty that customer workloads are isolated from each other and AWS operators, pioneering a new standard for mathematically proven cloud security. Customer testimonials Here are examples of how customers and partners have achieved their business agility, price performance, cost savings, and sustainability goals with Amazon EC2 M9g instances. Airbnb Airbnb is a leading travel company offering unique stays, experiences, and services that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. "AWS Graviton5-based Amazon EC2 instances are some of the fastest EC2 instances we have ever tested. In our performance tests, conducted using Airbnb's production search workloads, we are seeing improvements of up to 25% over other system architectures of the same generation, and up to 20% compared to prior generation Graviton4 instances. We are especially impressed with P95 latency for our critical workloads, helping to provide a consistent experience for Airbnb guests and hosts." Denis Sheahan, Principal Performance Engineer, Airbnb Airbnb logo in red with brand symbol and name on a transparent background. Arm "Running EDA in the cloud allows us to scale compute to match the complexity of modern silicon design while improving engineering efficiency. AWS Graviton5, powered by Arm Neoverse V3, delivers up to 40% speedup for Arm's own design and verification flows. That performance helps us bring the next generation of Arm processors to market faster and showcases the virtuous cycle of innovation between Arm and AWS." Karima Dridi, VP Productivity Engineering, Arm Missing alt text value Atlassian "Atlassian has migrated more than 3000 EC2 instances for Jira and Confluence to AWS Graviton4-based instances. In our testing of Jira on AWS Graviton5-based M9g instances, we observed 30% higher performance and 20% lower latency compared to the prior generation and we look forward to AWS Graviton5 general availability." Paulo Almeida, Principal Site Reliability Engineer, Atlassian The logo of Atlassian, a company known for collaboration and productivity software products. Honeycomb Honeycomb is an observability platform that provides real-time visibility and troubleshooting for cloud applications. "Honeycomb saw out of the box 20-25% lower latency and 15% less CPU utilization for our ingest workload running on AWS Graviton5, compared to AWS Graviton4. After optimizing for throughput by reducing the CPU available to each task until identical latency was observed, we saw a total of 36% better throughput per core on Graviton5, compared to Graviton4." Liz Fong-Jones, Field CTO, Honeycomb.io Missing alt text value SAP "We've been working closely with AWS on running SAP HANA Cloud on AWS Graviton since 2023 and have seen significant performance improvements with each new Graviton generation. With AWS Graviton5-based Amazon EC2 M9g instances, we've observed a stunning 35-60% increase in the performance of our OLTP queries on SAP HANA Cloud - a phenomenal advancement in a single generation. We're thrilled to be adopting the latest generation AWS Graviton instances for our SAP HANA Cloud deployment, as we expect this will deliver even greater performance gains."
