+AWS Instances
+-------------
+
+CSIT is using C5n instances for high compute applications that can take
+advantage of improved network throughput and packet rate performance. C5n
+instances offers up to 100 Gbps network bandwidth and increased memory over
+comparable C5 instances [aws_it]_.
+
+Features:
+
+- 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Platinum processors with Intel Advanced Vector Extension
+  512 (AVX-512) instruction set.
+- Sustained all core Turbo frequency of up to 3.4GHz, and single core turbo
+  frequency of up to 3.5 GHz.
+- Requires HVM AMIs that include drivers for ENA and NVMe [aws_ena]_.
+- Network bandwidth increases to up to 100 Gbps, delivering increased
+  performance for network intensive applications.
+- Powered by the AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and
+  lightweight hypervisor.

+CSIT is configured by default to use `c5n.4xlarge` in `eu-central-1` AWS region
+due to allocation stability issues with `c5n.9xlarge` in `eu-central-1` region.
+
+
+AWS Elastic Network Adapter (ENA)
+---------------------------------
+
+Enhanced networking uses single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to provide
+high-performance networking capabilities on supported instance types. SR-IOV is
+a method of device virtualization that provides higher I/O performance and lower
+CPU utilization when compared to traditional virtualized network interfaces
+[aws_ena]_.
+
+Current advertised limits are captured in [aws_limits]_.
