As part of #6094 we have seen great performance increase on the M7a instances.
The current builds are mainly running on m5 instances: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m5/
The M5 and M5d instances feature either the 1st or 2nd generation Intel Xeon Platinum 8000 series processor (Skylake-SP or Cascade Lake) with a sustained all core Turbo CPU clock speed of up to 3.1 GHz. Additionally there is support for the new Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) instruction set, offering up to 2x the FLOPS per core compared to the previous generation M4 instances.
The m7a and potentially m8a instance running with:
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m7a/ 3.7ghz
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/m8a/ 4.5ghz
We should definitely try out m7a, and potentially m8a depending on how ec2plugin on Jenkins support it.

Thanks.
