Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Hong Kong), Middle East (UAE), and AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions.
R7gd are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors with DDR5 memory are built on the AWS Nitro System . They are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches. Graviton3-based instances use up to 60% less energy for the same performance than comparable EC2 instances, enabling you to reduce your carbon footprint in the cloud.
