Description

C5 instances are optimized for compute-intensive workloads and deliver cost-effective high performance at a low price per compute ratio.

Features:

  • 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Platinum processors with Intel Advanced Vector Extension 512 (AVX-512) instruction set
  • Run each core at up to 3.5 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost Technology
  • Larger instance size, c5.18xlarge, offering 72 vCPUs and 144 GiB of memory
  • Requires HVM AMIs that include drivers for ENA and NVMe
  • With C5d instances, local NVMe-based SSDs are physically connected to the host server and provide block-level storage that is coupled to the lifetime of the C5 instance
  • Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) provides C5 instances with up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 14 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth to Amazon EBS.

 

All instances have the following specs:

Use Cases

High performance web servers, scientific modelling, batch processing, distributed analytics, high-performance computing (HPC), machine/deep learning inference, ad serving, highly scalable multiplayer gaming, and video encoding.
