AWS introduces new EC2 instance families (C8gd, M8gd, R8gd) powered by Graviton4 processors with NVMe SSD storage, offering up to 30% better performance, 3x more vCPUs and memory, and up to 11.4TB local storage compared to Graviton3-based predecessors.

Elevate storage performance with AWS’s newest I8g instances, which deliver unparalleled speed and efficiency for I/O-intensive workloads.

New memory-optimized X8g instances offer up to 3 TiB DDR5 memory, 192 vCPUs, and 50 Gbps network bandwidth, designed for memory-intensive workloads like databases, analytics, and caching with unparalleled price/performance and efficiency.

Discover the price performance and sustainability benefits of Graviton4 with HAQM EC2 R8g instances, ideal for memory-intensive workloads.

Today is April Fool’s Day. About 10 years ago, some tech companies would joke about an idea that was thought to be fun and unfeasible on April 1st, to the delight of readers. Jeff Barr has also posted seemingly far-fetched ideas on this blog in the past, and some of these have surprisingly come true! […]

We are opening up a preview of the next generation of HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instances. Equipped with brand-new Graviton4 processors, the new R8g instances will deliver better price performance than any existing memory-optimized instance. The R8g instances are suitable for your most demanding memory-intensive workloads: big data analytics, high-performance databases, in-memory caches […]

We launched HAQM EC2 C7g instances in May 2022 and M7g and R7g instances in February 2023. Powered by the latest AWS Graviton3 processors, the new instances deliver up to 25 percent higher performance, up to two times higher floating-point performance, and up to 2 times faster cryptographic workload performance compared to AWS Graviton2 processors.

At AWS re:Invent 2022, Adam Selipsky, CEO of AWS, explained high performance computing (HPC) workloads typically can either be compute-intensive, compute- and networking-intensive, or data- and memory-intensive in his keynote. Compute workloads include weather forecasting, computational fluid dynamics, and financial options pricing. To help with this, you have HAQM EC2 Hpc6a instances, which deliver up […]
