Unfortunately supply is quite limited. If you want to horizontally scale on these instances you need to have a good relationship with AWS so they'll give you a big allocation before c9i is a thing.

I haven't personally tried, so I can't say for certain, but Lambda has publicly stated they run on bare metal EC2 instances, presumably the supply of whatever instance types they use should be fairly healthy

also i found them much less stable than metal instances running into weird kvm failures

  • Yes, it is. It was a challenge to make it work smooth without metal. The scaling out speed was one of the main reasons
