The second-generation Outposts rack can provide low latency, local data processing, or data residency needs, such as game servers for multi-player online games, customer transaction data, medical records, industrial and manufacturing control systems, telecom Business Support Systems (BSS), and edge inference of a variety of machine learning (ML) models. Customers can now take advantage of the latest generation of processors and more advanced configurations of Outposts racks to support faster processing, higher memory capacity, and increased network bandwidth.</p><p><strong>Latest generation EC2 instances</strong></p><p>We’re excited to announce local support for the latest generation (7th generation) of x86-powered Amazon EC2 instances on AWS Outposts racks, starting with C7i compute-optimized instances, M7i general-purpose instances, and R7i memory-optimized instances. These new instances deliver twice the vCPU, memory, and network bandwidth while providing up to 40% better performance compared to C5, M5, and R5 instances on previous generation Outposts racks. They are powered by 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and are ideal for a broad range of on-premises workloads requiring enhanced performance such as larger databases, more memory-intensive applications, advanced real-time big data analytics, high-performance video encoding and streaming, and CPU-based edge inference with more sophisticated ML models. Support for more latest generation EC2 instances, including GPU-enabled instances, is coming soon.</p><p><strong>Simplified network scaling and configuration</strong></p><p>We’ve completely reimagined networking in our latest Outposts generation, making it simpler and more scalable than ever. At the heart of this upgrade is our new Outposts network rack, which acts as a central hub for all your compute and storage traffic.</p><p>This new design brings three major benefits to the table. First, you can now scale your compute resources independently from your networking infrastructure, giving you more flexibility and cost efficiency as your workloads grow. Second, we’ve built in network resilience from the ground up, with the network rack automatically handling device failures to keep your systems running smoothly. Third, connecting to your on-premises environment and AWS Regions is now a breeze – you can configure everything from IP addresses to VLAN and BGP settings through straightforward APIs or our updated console interface.</p><p><a href="https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/da4b9237bacccdf19c0760cab7aec4a8359010b0/2025/04/25/LUR04269.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter wp-image-95580 size-large" src="https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/da4b9237bacccdf19c0760cab7aec4a8359010b0/2025/04/25/LUR04269-683x1024.jpg&quot; alt="Image of an AWS Outposts rack device" width="683" height="1024" /></a></p><p><strong>Specialized Amazon EC2 instances with accelerated networking</strong></p><p>We’re introducing a new category of specialized Amazon EC2 instances on Outposts racks with accelerated networking. These instances are purpose built for the most latency-sensitive, compute-intensive, and throughput-intensive mission-critical workloads on-premises. To deliver the best possible performance, in addition to the Outpost logical network, these instances feature a secondary physical network with network accelerator cards connected to top-of-rack (TOR) switches.</p><p>First in this category are <strong>bmn-sf2e</strong> instances, designed for ultra-low latency with deterministic performance. The new instances run on Intel’s latest Sapphire Rapids processors (4th Gen Xeon Scalable), delivering 3.9 GHz sustained performance across all cores with generous memory allocation – 8GB of RAM for every CPU core. We’ve equipped <strong>bmn-sf2e</strong> instances with AMD Solarflare X2522 network cards that connect directly to top-of-rack switches.</p><p>For financial services customers, especially capital market firms, these instances offer deterministic networking through native Layer 2 (L2) multicast, precision time protocol (PTP), and equal cable lengths. This enables customers to meet regulatory requirements around fair trading and equal access while easily connecting to their existing trading infrastructure.</p><table class="c9"><thead><tr class="c5"><th class="c4">Instance Name</th><th class="c4">vCPUs</th><th class="c4">Memory (DDR5)</th><th class="c4">Network Bandwidth</th><th class="c4">NVMe SSD Storage</th><th class="c4">Accelerated Network Cards</th><th class="c4">Accelerated Bandwidth (Gbps)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr class="c7"><td class="c6"><strong>bmn-sf2e.metal-16xl</strong></td><td class="c6">64</td><td class="c6">512 GiB</td><td class="c6">25 Gbps</td><td class="c6">2 x 8 TB (16 TB)</td><td class="c6">2</td><td class="c6">100</td></tr><tr class="c8"><td class="c6"><strong>bmn-sf2e.metal-32xl</strong></td><td class="c6">128</td><td class="c6">1024 GiB</td><td class="c6">50 Gbps</td><td class="c6">4 x 8 TB (32 TB)</td><td class="c6">4</td><td class="c6">200</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The second instance type, <strong>bmn-cx2</strong>, is optimized for high throughput and low latency.
