Starting today, Amazon EC2 C6gd instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors are available in Europe (Paris) region. C6gd instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high performance computing (HPC), batch processing, ad serving, video encoding, gaming, scientific modelling, distributed analytics, and CPU-based machine learning inference. The local SSD storage provided on these instances benefit applications that need access to high-speed, low latency storage such as high-speed caches and scratch files, and temporary data storage like batch and log processing.

AWS WAF announces AWS Bot Control for Targeted Bots, a new feature of AWS Bot Control that provides protection against bots that attempt to evade detection and target applications such as e-commerce, retail, and financial services websites. Traffic from targeted bots can result in a poor user experience by competing against legitimate user traffic for website access to high-demand inventory, increasing business risk through chargebacks from fraudulent transactions, and increasing infrastructure costs.

Starting today, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G5 instances powered by NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core GPUs are available in Stockholm. G5 instances can be used for a wide range of graphics intensive and machine learning use cases. They deliver up to 3x higher performance for graphics-intensive applications and machine learning inference, and up to 3.3x higher performance for training simple to moderately complex machine learning models when compared to Amazon EC2 G4dn instances.

Starting today, memory optimized Amazon EC2 X2idn instances are available in Asia-Pacific(Osaka) region. X2idn instance, powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (code named Ice Lake), are designed for memory-intensive workloads and deliver improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1 instances. X2idn has a 16:1 ratio of memory to vCPU making this instance a great fit for workloads such as in-memory databases and analytics, and big data processing engines. X2idn deliver up to 45% more SAPS than comparable X1 instances and are SAP-Certified for running Business Suite on HANA, SAP S/4HANA, Data Mart Solutions on HANA, Business Warehouse on HANA, SAP BW/4HANA, and SAP NetWeaver workloads on any database. You can view the certification data for X2idn on the Certified and Supported SAP HANA Hardware Directory .
