Starting today, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G5g instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and featuring NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs are available in Europe(Spain) region. G5g instances can be used for graphics intensive and machine learning workloads.

G5 instances provide the best price performance in Amazon EC2 for Android game streaming use-cases. With G5g instances, developers can run Android games natively, encode the rendered graphics, and stream the game over network to end user devices. This helps simplify development effort and can lower the hourly cost per stream by up to 30% compared to G4dn instances. The G5g instances are also a cost-effective platform for machine learning inference models that leverage NVIDIA’s AI libraries. 

With this additional region, Amazon EC2 G5g instances are available in 7 regions globally : Europe (Spain, Frankfurt), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore) Regions, and are purchasable On-Demand, as Reserved instances, as Spot instances, or as part of Savings Plans. They are available in 6 sizes providing up to 64 vCPUs, 2 NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs, 32 GB memory, 25 Gbps of networking bandwidth, and 19 Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth.

Machine learning developers can quickly get started with G5g instances by using AWS Deep Learning Linux AMI. Graphics customers can download the NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA’s public driver download page or visit the Install NVIDIA drivers documentation page. To learn more, visit the Amazon EC2 G5g page.
