All current generation instance types except T2 instances support enhanced networking. Supported instance types use either the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) or the Intel 82599 Virtual Function (VF) interface.ResolutionFor supported instance types, first determine the enhanced networking mechanism that's available for your instance type. Then, use the ENA or the Intel 82599 VF interface to activate enhanced networking.For T2 instances, and as a best practice for all instance types, be sure to upgrade AWS PV drivers on Windows Server.Note: If the instance is a domain controller, then upgrade AWS PV drivers on the domain controller.Related informationSummary of networking and storage featuresFollow"
