Starting today, Amazon EC2 C5d, M5d, and R5d Instances are available in the Europe (Paris) AWS Region and Amazon EC2 R5d Instances are available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region.
Amazon EC2 C5d, M5d, and R5d all have local NVMe-based SSD block level storage physically connected to the host server. These instances are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, to temporary storage of data such as batch and log processing, and to high-speed caches and scratch files.
C5d instances are ideal for applications such as high performance web servers, high-performance computing (HPC), batch processing, ad serving, highly scalable multiplayer gaming, video encoding, scientific modelling, distributed analytics and machine/deep learning inference. M5d instances offers a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources for a broad range of workloads. This includes web and application servers, back-end servers for enterprise applications, gaming servers, caching fleets, and app development environments. R5d instances are well suited for memory intensive applications such as high performance databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches, mid-size in-memory databases, real time big data analytics, and other enterprise applications.
With this expansion, C5d instances are now available in the AWS US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (N. California and Oregon), Asia Pacific (Seoul, Singapore), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland London, Paris, and Stockholm) AWS Regions. M5d instances are now available in the AWS US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (N. California and Oregon), Asia Pacific (Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, and Stockholm) AWS Regions. R5d instances are available in the US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (N. California and Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London, Paris, and Stockholm), AWS GovCloud (US-West), and Asia Pacific (Seoul, Sydney) AWS Regions.
