Summary

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced I4i instances based on the 3rd Generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, offering superior performance for Aerospike compared to I3/I3en instances. The I4i instances provide greater turbo performance and up to 2x more DRAM than I3 and I3n instances while supporting storage-dense configurations of up to 30TB. In benchmark tests, the I4i.32xl instances achieved 18% higher single-SSD throughput compared with i3en.24xl instances. The availability of AWS I4i instances allows for cost-effective configurations at scale across a wider range of applications.
