Amazon Redshift Graviton-based RG Instances on Trailing Track

Starting today, rg.large and rg.12xlarge instance types are available for customers running workloads on the trailing track on patch P202 and onwards. This update allows customers who prioritize stability for production workloads to benefit from AWS Graviton-powered performance, delivering up to 2.4x faster query performance than RA3 instances at 30% lower price per vCPU.

What to do

  • Create a new Amazon Redshift RG cluster or resize an existing cluster to an rg.large or rg.12xlarge instance type using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs.
