-An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) provides the information required to launch an
-instance. CSIT is using Amazon EBS where the root device for an instance
-launched from the AMI is an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume
-created from an Amazon EBS snapshot.
+An :abbr:`AMI (Amazon Machine Image)` provides the information required to
+launch an instance. CSIT is using Amazon :abbr:`EBS (Elastic Block Store)` where
+the root device for an instance launched from the AMI is a volume created from
+an Amazon EBS snapshot.
A the TG and SUT instances have slightly different software requirements,
we are defining two AMIs for TG and SUT separately. AMI details examples:
+TG:
- AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_tg
- Platform details: Linux/UNIX
- Architecture: x86_64
- Root Device Name: /dev/sda1
- Root Device Type: ebs
+SUT:
- AMI Name: csit_c5n_ubuntu_focal_sut
- Platform details: Linux/UNIX
- Architecture: x86_64
Building AMIs requires Hashicorp Packer with Amazon plugin installed.

#. VPP PERFORMANCE TESTS
- - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Added initial test data for these
- platforms. Current CSIT-2106 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake
- comes from an external source (Intel labs running CSIT code on
- "8360Y D Stepping" and "6338N" processors). For details about the
- physical setup see :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`. Tested
- VPP and CSIT versions are pre-release, VPP
- 21.06-rc0~779-gd640ae52f.
+ - **Intel Xeon Ice Lake**: Added test data for these platforms. Current
+ CSIT-2110 report data for Intel Xeon Ice Lake comes from an external source
+ (Intel labs running CSIT code on "8360Y D Stepping" and "6338N"
+ processors). For details about the physical setup see
+ :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
- **MLRsearch improvements**: Added support for multiple packet
throughput rates in a single search, each rate is associated
