Hi,  
We are running few instances with AWS **i4g** instance type with Rocky Linux 9 ARM which are working quite fine.

Couple of the month ago AWS have released **i8g** series Instances with type i8g.xxx and today some errors occurred when I tried to launch **i8g** series Instances:

```auto
we tried to launch a new instance with it but it failing with below message:
An error occurred (UnsupportedOperation) when calling the RunInstances operation: The instance configuration for this AWS Marketplace product is not supported. Please see the AWS Marketplace site for more information about supported instance types, regions, and operating systems.

```

I can find **i4g** series in support list, but **i8g** is not found:

I hope we can support the sku as soon as possibe, thx. 👏

I8g is very suitable for our business needs. We hope it can be supported as soon as possible.
