Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) I4g storage-optimized instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors are available in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region. I4g instances offer the best compute price performance for storage-optimized EC2 instances and the best storage performance per TB for Graviton-based storage instances.
I4g instances are based on AWS Nitro SSDs custom-built by AWS and Graviton2 processors that reduce both latency and delay variation, delivering the best compute cost performance in a storage-optimized instance. I4g instances are ideal for workloads that run a mix of random read/write operations and require very low I/O latency and high computing performance, such as transactional databases (Amazon DynamoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL), real-time databases, etc. Optimized for. Real-time analytics including memory databases, NoSQL databases, time series databases (Clickhouse, Apache Druid, MongoDB), and Apache Spark.
With this regional expansion, I4g instances are now available in the following AWS Regions: Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland), US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and US West. (Oregon).
