Amazon VGT2 Las Vegas – More Info
I’m keeping it short! We are excited to announce the introduction of two types of Amazon EC2 instances in additional AWS Regions.
G2 Expansion
The G2 instances are tailored for applications requiring advanced 3D graphics capabilities. Each instance is equipped with an NVIDIA GRID™ GPU featuring 1,536 parallel processing cores and 4 GB of RAM, along with hardware-accelerated video encoding. The g2.2xlarge instances further utilize high-frequency Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors, providing 15 GiB of RAM and 60 GB of SSD storage.
Starting today, G2 instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) and Asia Pacific (Singapore) Regions, ready for immediate use.
C3 Expansion
C3 instances are designed specifically for CPU-bound scale-out applications and high-performance computing workloads. They are offered in five configurations (c3.large, c3.xlarge, c3.2xlarge, c3.4xlarge, and c3.8xlarge), all powered by Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 processors, with RAM ranging from 3.75 to 60 GiB and storage from 32 to 640 GB of SSD.
As of today, all five sizes of C3 instances are now accessible in the South America (São Paulo) Region. Currently, C3 instances are available in a single Availability Zone within this Region. To launch C3 instances here, we suggest not specifying an Availability Zone preference during the launch process. Embracing vulnerability in the workplace is crucial; you can read more about this in our blog post on the importance of vulnerability here.
