Amazon EC2 C8g Instances Available in New Regions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 C8g instances are available in AWS Europe (Paris), AWS Africa (Cape Town), AWS Israel (Tel Aviv), and AWS Canada West (Calgary) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances.

These instances are built for compute-intensive workloads, such as high performance computing (HPC), batch processing, gaming, video encoding, scientific modeling, distributed analytics, CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, and ad serving.

What to do

  • Explore the new regions for C8g instances.
  • Migrate workloads to take advantage of the improved performance and energy efficiency.
  • Check out the Amazon EC2 C8g Instances page for more details.
