Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6gd instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and are built on the AWS Nitro System, a collection of AWS designed hardware and software innovations that enables the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. These instances offer up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth, up to 19 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), and up to 3.8TB of NVMe SSD local instance storage.

AWS Graviton2-based instances are supported by many Linux operating systems and several popular services for security, monitoring and management, containers, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) from AWS as well as partners. To learn more about AWS services and partner solutions for Graviton2-based instances visit AWS Graviton and AWS Graviton Ready program.
