Starting today, the FPGA-powered Amazon EC2 F2 instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region. F2 instances are the second generation of FPGA powered instances and are the first to feature an FPGA with 16 GB of high bandwidth memory (HBM). Compared to F1 instances, the F2 instances have up to 3x vCPUs (192 vCPUS), 2x system memory (2 TB), 2x SSD space (7.6 TiB), and 4x networking bandwidth (100 Gbps). Amazon EC2 F2 instances are ideal for FPGA-accelerated solutions in genomics, multimedia processing, big data, network acceleration, and more.

With this additional region, F2 instances are now available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (London), and Asia Pacific (Sydney). These instances can be purchased as either Savings Plans or On-Demand instances. To learn more, visit the Amazon EC2 F2 Instances page and F2 FPGA development kit GitHub page.

AWS Batch now supports job scheduling that takes into account consumable resources (CRs) such as third-party license tokens, database access bandwidth, budgetary limits, and more. With resource aware scheduling you can set up sets of tokens representing these resources, which will then be consumed by the running AWS Batch jobs. This will help you reduce job failures and wasted compute time caused by missing or rate-limited resources, which in turn will improve utilization of infrastructure and reduce costs.

You can create, manage, and monitor consumption of your CRs using AWS Batch Management Console or the new AWS Batch consumable resource APIs such as CreateConsumableResource, DescribeConsumableResource, UpdateConsumableResource, DeleteConsumableResource, and ListJobsByConsumableResource. Once you set up your consumable resources, you can associate up to 5 CRs with your AWS Batch jobs while creating or updating AWS Batch job definitions. For more information, see Consumable Resources page in the AWS Batch User Guide , AWS Batch API Reference , and our AWS HPC Blog post .

AWS Batch supports developers, scientists, and engineers in running efficient batch processing for ML model training, simulations, and analysis at any scale. Resource aware scheduling is available for all types of AWS Batch compute environments in any AWS Region where AWS Batch is available.
