Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8gd and R8gd instances are now available in Europe (Paris) and Asia Pacific (Mumbai) regions. Additionally, EC2 R8gd instances are available in Europe (Stockholm, Milan) and Asia Pacific (Osaka, Melbourne, Singapore, Taipei) regions. 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. Built on the AWS Nitro System, these instances are ideal for applications requiring high-speed, low-latency local storage. Each instance is available in 12 different sizes, providing up to 50 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Customers can now adjust network and Amazon EBS bandwidth on these instances by 25% using EC2 instance bandwidth weighting configuration, offering greater flexibility in allocating bandwidth resources to better optimize workloads. These instances also offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes.
