Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) now supports M6in, M6idn, R6in, and R6idn database (DB) instances for RDS for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB. These network optimized DB instances deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, which is 300% more than similar sized M6i and R6i database instances. Enhanced network bandwidth makes M6in and R6in DB instances ideal for write-intensive workloads. M6idn and R6idn support local block storage with up to 7.6 TB of NVMe-based solid state disk (SSD) storage.
Amazon RDS provides support for Optimized Reads and Optimized Writes (on RDS for MySQL and MariaDB) on M6idn and R6idn DB instances. RDS open-source DB instances with Optimized Reads execute complex queries up to 2x faster than Amazon RDS open-source without Optimized Reads. With Optimized Writes you can improve RDS MySQL and RDS MariaDB write throughput by up to 2x.
M6in, M6idn, R6in, and R6idn DB instances are available on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL version 15.2 and higher, 14.5 and higher, 13.7 and higher; Amazon RDS for MySQL version 8.0.28 and higher; and Amazon RDS for MariaDB version 10.6.8 and higher, 10.5.16 and higher, and 10.4.25 and higher. These instances are now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Ireland).
