Beijing - August 10, 2022. Recently, Amazon Cloud Technology announced that the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M1 Mac instance built on the Apple chip Mac mini computer is officially available. The instance is powered by the Amazon Cloud Technology Nitro system, making it up to 60% more cost-effective to build and test iOS and macOS applications compared to x86-based Amazon EC2 Mac instances. Amazon Cloud Technologies has built infrastructure for more than a decade that provides consistent resiliency, scalability, and reliability to millions of customers. Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances enable the native Arm64 macOS environment for the first time on Amazon Cloud Technology for developing, building, testing, deploying, and running applications for Apple devices. Many developers are refactoring macOS applications to support Apple chips. Now, developers can configure an Arm64 macOS environment in minutes, get dynamic expansion of capacity, and pay-as-you-go pricing to build applications faster and conduct distributed testing more easily.

Apple's custom series of chips specifically designed for Mac, starting with the M1 SoC (system on a chip), are highly anticipated by millions of Apple developers around the world. M1 is the first personal computer system chip manufactured using the new 5-nanometer process, which integrates many powerful technologies into one chip and uses a unified memory architecture to improve performance and efficiency. The Apple-designed M1 SoC also supports the Arm64 architecture on macOS for the first time.
With Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances, Apple developers can refactor macOS applications to support Apple silicon without having to procure, install, manage, patch, and upgrade any physical infrastructure, resulting in faster builds, near-bare metal performance, and Convenient distributed testing. Developers can also integrate cross-platform development of Apple, Windows and Android applications on Amazon Cloud Technology, further saving resources and time in managing infrastructure, improving productivity and accelerating release times. Users can easily use Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances in the same way as other EC2 instances, including the integration of EC2 instances with other Amazon Cloud services and features, such as Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) for network security, Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for scalable storage, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) for distributing build queues, and Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for operating system imaging.
Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances are based on Apple silicon Mac mini computers and the Amazon Nitro System, providing up to 10 Gbps of virtual private cloud (VPC) network bandwidth and 8Gbps of Amazon EBS storage bandwidth through high-speed Thunderbolt connectivity technology. The Mac mini computer is powered by an M1 processor with 8 CPUs, 8 GPUs, 16GiB of memory, and a 16-core Apple Neural Engine. Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances are exclusively supported by Amazon Nitro System, bringing Mac mini computers as fully integrated, fully managed compute instances with the same integration as any other EC2 instance with Amazon VPC and Amazon EBS. Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances support macOS Big Sur (11) and macOS Monterey (12) as operating system images.
Amazon EC2 M1 Mac instances are now generally available in the Amazon Cloud Technology regions in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), EU (Dublin), and Asia Pacific (Singapore), with additional regions coming soon.
