Today we’re announcing Research and Engineering Studio (RES) on AWS 2025.09, which brings support for fractional GPUs, simplified AMI management, and enhanced deployment flexibility. This release also expands regional availability to include four additional AWS commercial Regions.

Research and Engineering Studio on AWS is an open source solution that provides a web-based portal for administrators to create and manage secure cloud-based research and engineering environments. RES enables scientists and engineers to access powerful Windows and Linux virtual desktops with pre-installed applications and shared resources, without requiring cloud expertise.

Version 2025.09 adds support for Amazon EC2 g6f instances, enabling GPU fractionalization for more efficient resource utilization in graphics-intensive workloads. The release also introduces Systems Manager Parameter Alias support for AMI IDs, simplifying the management of project-specific images, and enables integration with existing Amazon Cognito user pools for streamlined authentication setup during deployment. Administrators can now also customize CIDR ranges in the AWS CloudFormation external resources template for better network planning and integration with existing resources.

This release expands regional availability to include Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Middle East (UAE), and South America (São Paulo). To learn more about RES 2025.09, including detailed release notes and deployment instructions, visit the Research and Engineering Studio documentation or check out the RES GitHub repository .
