Developing and support for the c7i instance type in DB2 Purescale solution on AWS

The maximum number of EBS volumes (up to 30) that can be attached to  current c6i instances that is supported with DB2 Purescale on AWS. The new c7i instance type offers support for up to 128 EBS volumes, which aligns perfectly for enhanced storage capacity and scalability.

Here are the primary benefits anticipate:

  • Increased Storage Capability: The ability to attach more EBS volumes directly supports growing data requirements.
  • Enhanced Performance: With improved networking capabilities and faster processing power, the c7i is poised to significantly boost database performance.
  • Operational Efficiency: Supporting the c7i instances would reduce need to manage multiple instances and streamline operations.
