Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL now supports R7i database instances
Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility now supports R7i database instances powered by custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors. R7i instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge and features an 8:1 ratio of memory to vCPU, and the latest DDR5 memory. These instances are now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (N. California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), and Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm).
You can spin up R7i database instances in the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the AWS CLI. Upgrading a database instance to R7i instance family requires a simple instance type modification. For more details, refer to the Aurora documentation.
Amazon Aurora is designed for unparalleled high performance and availability at global scale with PostgreSQL compatibility. It provides built-in security, continuous backups, serverless compute, up to 15 read replicas, automated multi-Region replication, and integrations with other AWS services.
