Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R8id instances are now available in additional regions. R8id instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Malaysia, Sydney), Canada (Central), and Europe (Ireland, Stockholm). R8id instances feature up to 22.8TB of NVMe SSD local instance storage, 3x more than R6id, and provide up to 3.3x higher memory bandwidth, delivering up to 43% higher performance compared to R6id instances. They are ideal for memory-intensive workloads that benefit from high-performance local storage, including in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, large in-memory caches, and data processing applications. Additionally, customers can now adjust the network and Amazon EBS bandwidth on these instances by 25% using EC2 instance bandwidth weighting configuration, providing greater flexibility with the allocation of bandwidth resources to better optimize workloads. These instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 R8id page.
