In the last week, I found that there is no option to use Official CHR RouterOS 6.34.1 from AWS Marketplace to setup it on c5 instance types with 10Gbps or 25Gbps
Even after update to the last version of CHR, you will have issues to enable ENA in AWS CLI Console due to AWS Marketplace restrictions of the image
But Mikrotik CHR Changelog from 6.42 (2018-Apr-13) says that ENA Driver enabled in the 6.42 version https://mikrotik.com/download/changelog ... c9d6740882
The Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) supports network speeds of up to 25 Gbps for supported instance types.
I created a new Amazon Web Services Image (AMI) from RAW image of Mikrotik RouterOS CHR 6.42.1 with enabled ENA Support *
AMI ID: ami-b467f9cb
Link to Launch the image: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/h ... i-b467f9cb
The Image available only on eu-east-1 region, but you can always copy it to a different region
Login: admin (without passowrd)
* ENA - Enhanced Networking with the Elastic Network Adapter
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. Enhanced networking provides higher bandwidth, higher packet per second (PPS) performance, and consistently lower inter-instance latencies.

Now you can start using Mikrotik RouterOS CHR on AWS Instance types like C5, C5 with instance storage, F1, G3, H1, I3, m4.16xlarge, M5, P2, P3, R4, and X1

Please, provide some feedback here or better to Twitter
In a few days, I will write a post on how to upload RAW CHR image to AWS and create a Mikrotik instance with ENA
Thank you (￣▽￣)ノ
P.S take a look to my another my post "Let's Encrypt + Mikrotik RouterOS": viewtopic.php?f=1&t=92673&start=50#p630114
UPD 27-05-2018: I changed the permission of the AMI so now you can copy AMI to different AWS Regions
UPD 27-05-2018: Start the AMI as t2.micro for the first time, then you can change the type to a different one
UPD 28-05-2018: I found that the image doesn't work with c4.large types - but works perfectly on c5/m5 types
