Amazon Web Services has announced the release of new Amazon EC2 instances that are based on the latest Graviton3 processors. These new instances include the general-purpose M7g and memory-optimized R7g instances, which are expected to provide significant performance improvements over their predecessors.
The M7g instances are designed to offer a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources, making them ideal for a wide range of workloads. These instances are built on the Graviton3 processor, which features 64 Arm Neoverse N2 cores, providing up to 40% better price/performance than the previous generation of M6g instances.
The R7g instances are optimized for memory-intensive workloads, making them well-suited for databases, in-memory caches, and other memory-intensive applications. The R7g instances are also built on the Graviton3 processor and feature up to 512 GiB of memory per instance, which is more than double the memory capacity of the previous generation R6g instances.
In addition to the improved performance and capacity, the Graviton3-based instances are designed to offer better security and scalability. They also support a wide range of instance sizes, making it easier for customers to choose the right size for their workloads.
Overall, the new M7g and R7g instances are expected to offer a significant performance boost for a wide range of workloads, while also providing improved security and scalability. Customers can begin using these new instances now through the Amazon EC2 console or AWS CLI.
Pricing and Regions
M7g and R7g instances are available today in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland) AWS Regions in On-Demand, Spot, Reserved Instance, and Savings Plan form.
