Earlier, we launched a duo of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) situations to our lineup: the general-purpose Amazon EC2 M7i situations and the compute-optimized Amazon EC2 C7i situations.
Immediately, I’m pleased to share that we’re increasing these seventh-generation x86-based choices to incorporate memory-optimized Amazon EC2 R7i situations. These situations are powered by customized 4th Technology Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids) unique to AWS and can provide the very best compute efficiency among the many comparable fourth-generation Intel processors within the cloud. The R7i situations can be found in eleven sizes together with two naked steel sizes (coming quickly), and provide 15 p.c enchancment in price-performance in comparison with Amazon EC2 R6i situations.
Amazon EC2 R7i situations are SAP Licensed and are a super match for memory-intensive workloads similar to high-performance databases (SQL and NoSQL databases), distributed net scale in-memory caches (Memcached and Redis), in-memory databases (SAP HANA), real-time large information analytics (Apache Hadoop and Spark clusters) and different enterprise purposes. Amazon EC2 R7i gives bigger occasion sizes (48xlarge) with as much as 192 vCPUs and 1,536 GiB of reminiscence, together with each digital and naked steel situations, enabling you to consolidate your workloads and scale-up purposes.
You’ll be able to connect as much as 128 EBS volumes to every R7i occasion; by the use of comparability, the R6i situations help you connect as much as 28 volumes.
Listed below are the specs for the R7i situations:
| Occasion Identify | vCPUs |

EBS Bandwidth |
| r7i.massive | 2 | 16 GiB | As much as 12.5 Gbps | As much as 10 Gbps |
| r7i.xlarge | 4 | 32 GiB | As much as 12.5 Gbps | As much as 10 Gbps |
| r7i.2xlarge | 8 | 64 GiB | As much as 12.5 Gbps | As much as 10 Gbps |
| r7i.4xlarge | 16 | 128 GiB | As much as 12.5 Gbps | As much as 10 Gbps |
| r7i.8xlarge | 32 | 256 GiB | 12.5 Gbps | 10 Gbps |
| r7i.12xlarge | 48 | 384 GiB | 18.75 Gbps | 15 Gbps |
| r7i.16xlarge | 64 | 512 GiB | 25 Gbps | 20 Gbps |
| r7i.24xlarge | 96 | 768 GiB | 37.5 Gbps | 30 Gbps |
| r7i.48xlarge | 192 | 1,536 GiB | 50 Gbps | 40 Gbps |
We’re additionally on the point of launch two sizes of naked steel R7i situations quickly:
| Occasion Identify | vCPUs |
Reminiscence (GiB) |
Community Bandwidth |
EBS Bandwidth |
| r7i.metal-24xl | 96 | 768 GiB | As much as 37.5 Gbps | As much as 30 Gbps |
| r7i.metal-48xl | 192 | 1,536 GiB | As much as 50.0 Gbps | As much as 40 Gbps |
Constructed-in Accelerators
The Sapphire Rapids processors embody 4 built-in accelerators, every offering {hardware} acceleration for a particular workload:
- Superior Matrix Extensions (AMX) – The AMX extensions are designed to speed up machine studying and different compute-intensive workloads that contain matrix operations. It improves the effectivity of those operations by offering specialised {hardware} directions and registers tailor-made for matrix computations. Matrix operations, similar to multiplication and convolution, are elementary constructing blocks in varied computational duties, particularly in machine studying algorithms.
- Intel Information Streaming Accelerator (DSA) – DSA enhances information processing and analytics capabilities for a variety of purposes and allows builders to harness the total potential of their data-driven workloads. With DSA, you achieve entry to optimized {hardware} acceleration that delivers distinctive efficiency for data-intensive duties.
- Intel In-Reminiscence Analytics Accelerator (IAA) – This accelerator runs database and analytic workloads sooner, with the potential for larger energy effectivity. In-memory compression, decompression, encryption at very excessive throughput, and a collection of analytics primitives assist in-memory databases, open-source databases, and information shops like RocksDB and ClickHouse.
- Intel QuickAssist Expertise (QAT) – This accelerator offloads encryption, decryption, and compression, liberating up processor cores and lowering energy consumption. It additionally helps merged compression and encryption in a single information movement. To be taught extra begin on the Intel QuickAssist Expertise (Intel QAT) Overview.
Superior Matrix Extensions can be found on all sizes of R7i situations. The Intel QAT, Intel IAA, and Intel DSA accelerators will probably be out there on the r7i.metal-24xl and r7i.metal-48xl situations.
Now Obtainable
The brand new situations can be found within the US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Spain), Europe (Stockholm), and Europe (Eire) AWS Areas.
Buying Choices
R7i situations can be found in On-Demand, Reserved, Financial savings Plan, and Spot Occasion type. R7i situations are additionally out there in Devoted Host and Devoted Occasion type.
