Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) now supports Graviton4-based R8g database instances

Amazon DocumentDB R8g Instances Now Available

AWS Graviton4-based R8g database instances are now generally available for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility). R8g instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and feature the latest DDR5 memory, making it ideal for memory-intensive workloads. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.

Customers can get started with R8g instances through the AWS Management Console, CLI, and SDK by modifying their existing Amazon DocumentDB database cluster or creating a new one. R8g instances are available for Amazon DocumentDB 5.0 on both Standard and IO-Optimized cluster storage configurations.

What to do

• Modify existing Amazon DocumentDB database cluster or create a new one using R8g instances.
• Choose between Standard and IO-Optimized cluster storage configurations.
• Visit the pricing page and documentation for more information.
