Amazon EC2 T8i burstable instances now generally available
- Platform/SRE — Plan: T8i instances offer up to 30% better price performance than T3 with the same CPU credit model, making them a straightforward drop-in upgrade for burstable workloads like small databases, ingress gateways, or low-traffic internal services; evaluate swapping T3 instances this quarter to reduce compute TCO.
- CI/CD — Learn: T8i instances are explicitly called out as suitable for CI/CD pipelines and could reduce runner costs compared to T3, but no pipeline migration is required — worth noting if self-hosted runners are being right-sized.
- Leader — Plan: T8i delivers up to 30% better price performance over T3 with no migration complexity due to compatible CPU credit mechanics; flag this for the next FinOps review as a low-effort TCO reduction for burstable workload fleets.
