Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7gd and R7gd instances with up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are available in Europe (Stockholm) and Europe (Spain) regions. Additionally, C7gd instances are now available in Europe (Stockholm). 

These Graviton3-based instances with DDR5 memory are built on the AWS Nitro System and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage, including those that need temporary storage of data for scratch space, temporary files, and caches. They have up to 45% improved real-time NVMe storage performance than comparable Graviton2-based instances. Graviton3-based instances use up to 60% less energy for the same performance than comparable EC2 instances, enabling you to reduce your carbon footprint in the cloud.
