You can provision these servers just like any other instance. They work just like any other Amazon EC2 instance (same Nitro System platform as C5).

Disclaimer: I work at AWS on the team responsible for the Nitro System including EC2 Bare Metal Instances.

is there any information about nitro or ENA (assuming this is the "hardware accelerators" that are mentioned in tfa) that is publicly available? it seems like the most nifty little thing

There is more coming at re:Invent. We have more talks queued up tomorrow on this too.

I'll keep an eye out, thanks

how many NICs can you attach to these?

15 Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) can be attached, just like i3.16xlarge.

Here are videos from break out sessions yesterday at re:Invent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LabltEXk0VQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9_4uGvbvnk

Any idea if TPM is available on the bare metal instances?
