    Newer instance generations usually offer better performance. Customers can choose newer families, such as c6i, c7i, c7a, c8i, or c8a, for improved throughput.

    Requirement: The AI Gateway VM must be deployed on an AVX2-capable host.
    Warning: The AI Gateway deployment will fail if the host does not meet the minimum specifications listed above.
