Why Amazon EC2 R6g Instances?

Amazon EC2 R6g instances are powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton2 processors. They deliver up to 40% better price performance over R5 instances1 and are for running memory-intensive workloads such as open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real time big data analytics. Developers can also use these instances to build Arm-based applications natively in the cloud, eliminating the need for cross-compilation and emulation, and improving time to market.

R6g instances are also available with local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage option (R6gd) for applications that need high-speed, low latency local storage.

20% lower cost and up to 40% higher performance over Amazon EC2 R5 instances, based on internal testing of workloads with varying characteristics of compute and memory requirements
