AWS Compute Optimizer now supports 11 additional Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance types. Newly supported instance types include accelerated computing instance families (G4dn, P3). The newly launched recommendations help customers discover opportunities to optimize their Machine Learning (ML), High-performance computing (HPC), and graphically intensive workloads.
Customers can now use EC2 instance rightsizing recommendations to identify appropriate Accelerated computing instance options, instance types, number of GPUs, and provisioned IOPS settings for their existing Accelerated computing resources. This enables customers to optimize performance of under-provisioned workloads and reduce costs for over-provisioned workloads. Compute Optimizer automatically generates recommendations for supported Accelerated Computing instances that have AWS CloudWatch agent with NVIDIA driver to get additional metrics.
You can use this feature in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).

To configure NVIDIA driver please see Create or Edit the CloudWatch Agent Configuration File in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide. You can start using AWS Compute Optimizer through the AWS Management Console, AWS Services CLI, or AWS SDK.
