Amazon ElastiCache Updates

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton3-based M7g and R7g node families in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions (US-East, US-West). ElastiCache Graviton3 nodes deliver improved price-performance compared to Graviton2. For example, when running ElastiCache for Redis OSS on an R7g.4xlarge node, you can achieve up to 28% increased throughput and up to 21% improved P99 latency, compared to running on R6g.4xlarge. Additionally, these nodes deliver up to 25% higher networking bandwidth.

What to do

  • Create a new cluster or upgrade to Graviton3 using the AWS Management Console.
  • Refer to the Amazon ElastiCache pricing page for complete information on pricing and regional availability.
  • Consult the documentation for more information on supported node types.
