Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8g instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand, New Zealand), AWS Africa (Cape Town), AWS Europe (Milan), and AWS Canada West (Calgary) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. Amazon EC2 R8g instances are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System , which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networkin
AWS continues to expand its global infrastructure and offers more performant compute options closer to end-users, driven by increasing regional demand for cloud services.
The availability of advanced Graviton-based instances in new regions enhances cloud infrastructure capabilities for memory-intensive workloads globally, potentially reducing latency and improving data sovereignty for regional customers.
Customers in these new regions now have local access to AWS Graviton4-powered R8g instances for high-performance, memory-optimized applications, offering a more efficient and potentially cost-effective alternative to older instance types.
