Amazon EC2 C8gd, M8gd, and R8gd Instances Now Available in Additional Regions

Amazon EC2 C8gd instances are now available in Europe (London) and Canada (Central) AWS Regions. M8gd instances are available in South America (Sao Paulo) and R8gd instances are available in Europe (London) AWS Region. These instances feature up to 11.4 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage and are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, delivering up to 30% better performance over Graviton3-based instances. They have up to 40% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 20% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics than comparable AWS Graviton3-based instances. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage.

• Explore the new instance types in the AWS Management Console.
• Consider migrating workloads to Graviton-based instances using the AWS Graviton Fast Start program and Porting Advisor for Graviton.
