EC2 Instance family: r8g
The Amazon EC2 r8g instance type is powered by the latest-generation AWS Graviton4 processors, which are Arm-based and custom-designed by AWS for cloud workloads. These instances are memory-optimized, making them ideal for demanding applications such as high-performance databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics. The Graviton4 processors offer significant performance improvements over their predecessors, delivering up to 30% better compute performance than Graviton3 processors, 50% more cores, and 75% more memory bandwidth. They also incorporate enhanced security features like always-on memory encryption, dedicated caches for each vCPU, and support for pointer authentication.
Key features of the r8g instances include DDR5-5600 memory and availability in various sizes, including bare metal options, with up to 192 vCPUs and 1.5TB of memory. They are built on the AWS Nitro System, which utilizes dedicated hardware and a lightweight hypervisor to enhance performance, security, and provide isolated multitenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. R8g instances also offer enhanced networking bandwidth of up to 50 Gbps and up to 40 Gbps to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), with Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) and Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) Express support on select sizes. The preview for r8g instances was announced in November 2023, and they became generally available on July 26, 2024.
