Amazon Web Services (AWS) is expanding the capabilities of its Graviton5 processors to support more data-intensive workloads through the launch of new memory-optimized R9g and R9gd instances. These instances, revealed by AWS Principal Developer Advocate Daniel Abib, are designed to power demanding applications like in-memory databases, big data analytics engines, high-throughput web services, and Kubernetes microservices.
Powered by Graviton5 CPUs, the R9g and R9gd instances deliver up to 25% better compute performance, 35% faster web application execution, and 30% faster database processing compared to their predecessors. They feature DDR5 8800 memory modules with 8,800 megatransfers per second and a larger L3 cache, reducing idle time for workloads.
Available in 11 sizes, the R9g instances rely on attached EBS volumes, while the R9gd instances support local NVMe SSD storage for ultra-low-latency performance in caching, scratch disks, and distributed analytics workloads. These instances are currently available in US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Frankfurt) regions, with various pricing options.
