Select AWS EC2 M6i Instances and Support up to 1.38x the Ecommerce Transactions for MySQL Databases vs. AWS EC2 M5 Instances
Description
Handle more transactions per minute with AWS M6i Instances Featuring 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors
Increases in ecommerce sales make it vital that organizations running these workloads maximize database performance in their cloud instances to keep up with peak demands. For various sizes of online transaction processing (OLTP) databases, AWS M6i Instances enabled by 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors provide greater performance than M5 instances with older processors. Using a TPROC-C workload from the HammerDB benchmark to assess MySQL database performance, testing shows that for small (8 vCPU) AWS instances, M6i instances featuring 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors delivered 1.32x the transactions per minute (TPM) than M5 instances. Medium-sized 16-vCPU AWS M6i instances also offered better OLTP performance than M5 instances, providing 1.38x the TPM. By choosing instances that can accommodate more ecommerce transactions, your organization can keep monthly cloud operating expenses down by doing the same amount of work with fewer instances.
