Amazon Web Services announced five new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instances, two new AWS Outposts form factors, and three new AWS Local Zones locations that extend its lead in offering the broadest and deepest portfolio of compute offerings in the cloud.

AWS already has more compute instance types than any other cloud provider, with instances based on the fastest processors from Intel, cost-optimized instances with AMD processors, the most powerful GPU instances from NVIDIA, instances that feature up to 400 Gbps networking performance, and the only Arm-based instances in the cloud offering customers 40% better price performance with AWS-designed AWS Graviton2 processors.

With the new Amazon EC2 C6gn instances, AWS is expanding its Graviton2 portfolio to help customers meet the demands of network-intensive workloads while lowering costs.

New G4ad instances feature AMD GPUs and CPUs to offer the lowest cost in the cloud for graphics intensive-applications, providing up to 45% better price performance when compared to NVIDIA GPU-based G4dn instances.

"Whether your organization has been all-in on the cloud since day one or is just beginning to move workloads to the cloud, all customers want to optimize for price performance," said Dave Brown, Vice President, EC2, AWS. "As customers bring more and more workloads to the cloud, AWS continues to expand the industry's leading compute portfolio to meet their increasingly diverse needs. With the new EC2 instance types, AWS Outposts and AWS Local Zones options we're introducing today, we're providing customers with an unmatched breadth and depth of capabilities to help them innovate more cost-effectively, with the right compute for the right job."
