Amazon EC2 R7gd Instances Available in Europe (Paris) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Europe (Paris) Region. R7gd instances are powered by AWS Graviton3 processors with DDR5 memory and built on the AWS Nitro System. They are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics.

These instances are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches.
