Amazon Aurora R6g instances, powered by AWS Graviton2 processors, are now available in Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Stockholm) Regions
AWS Graviton2-based R6g database instances are now available in Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris), and Europe (Stockholm) regions for Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition and Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition.
These instances are powered by the AWS Graviton2 processors that are custom designed by AWS using 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores. AWS Graviton2 processors deliver a major leap in performance and capabilities over first-generation AWS Graviton processors, with 7x performance, 4x the number of computing cores, 2x larger caches, and 5x faster memory. AWS Graviton2 processors feature always-on 256-bit DRAM encryption and are 50% faster per core encryption performance compared to the first-generation AWS Graviton processors. These performance improvements make Graviton2 database instances a great choice for database workloads.
You can launch R6g instances in the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the AWS CLI. Upgrading a database instance to Graviton2 requires a simple instance type modification, using the same steps as any other instance modification. For more details, refer to the documentation.
AWS Graviton Processor
AWS Graviton processors are designed by AWS to deliver the best price-performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2.
AWS Graviton2 processors deliver a major leap in performance and capabilities over first-generation AWS Graviton processors. Graviton2-based instances provide the best price-performance for workloads in Amazon EC2. Graviton2-based instances support a wide range of general-purpose, burstable, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated computing workloads including application servers, microservices, high-performance computing (HPC), CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, video encoding, electronic design automation, gaming, open-source databases, and in-memory caches. Many AWS services, including Amazon Aurora, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon EMR, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate, also support Graviton2-based instances for a fully managed experience with significant price-performance benefits. Thousands of customers, including Epic Games, DIRECTV, Intuit, Lyft, and Formula 1 are running production workloads on Graviton2-based instances with significant performance gains and cost savings.
AWS Graviton3 processors are the latest in the AWS Graviton processor family. They provide up to 25% better compute performance, up to 2x higher floating-point performance, and up to 2x faster cryptographic workload performance compared to AWS Graviton2 processors. AWS Graviton3 processors deliver up to 3x better performance compared to AWS Graviton2 processors for ML workloads, including support for bfloat16. They also support DDR5 memory that provides 50% more memory bandwidth compared to DDR4.
