Amazon EC2 G7e instances now available in AWS Local Zones in Los Angeles
Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G7e instances in AWS Local Zones in Los Angeles, California. G7e instances feature NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) processors, bringing high-performance GPU compute closer to end users in Los Angeles.
For creative workloads, you can use G7e instances to run studio workstation workloads with low-latency access to local storage, and post-production workloads including visual effects (VFX) editorial, color correction, and VFX finishing. G7e instances support enhanced real-time rendering on graphics engines and 2D/3D VFX composition software. For AI workloads, you can also use G7e instances to deploy Large Language Models (LLMs), inference, and agentic AI at the edge.
