I8g instances offer the best performance in Amazon EC2 for storage-intensive workloads. I8g instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors that deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous-gen I4g instances.
I8g instances use the latest 3rd Gen AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that deliver up to 65% better real-time storage performance/TB while offering up to 50% lower storage I/O latency and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability.
