Amazon adds R8i and R8i-flex to GovCloud East
Amazon has made its EC2 R8i and R8i-flex instances available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region. These instances are designed for memory-intensive workloads.
Key Takeaways
- Amazon EC2 R8i instances are now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region.
- Amazon EC2 R8i-flex instances are also available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region.
- Both instance families are designed for memory-intensive workloads.
- The launch is tied to AWS GovCloud (US-East), a region built for government cloud use cases.
Why It Matters
This gives AWS GovCloud customers new memory-intensive compute options in the US-East region right now, without waiting for a separate infrastructure rollout. It also extends the EC2 R8i family into AWS’s government cloud environment, which matters for teams that need to keep workloads inside GovCloud boundaries. The concrete signal to watch next is whether AWS posts additional GovCloud regional availability updates for other EC2 instance families, especially if they target similar workload profiles.
