Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA instance type offering 30% better compute than Graviton3 and higher EBS bandwidth (up to 300 Gbps / 1.6M IOPS) is worth evaluating this quarter for EBS-bound workloads like high-performance file systems; no forced migration, just an adoption decision.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: Graviton4-based C8gb instances improve the performance-per-dollar profile for compute and storage-intensive workloads, useful background for future FinOps or Graviton migration conversations, but no strategic decision is forced now.
Signals: GA announcement

Platform/SRE — Learn: M8i instances are now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) region, offering up to 20% better performance than M7i for general-purpose and database workloads. Worth evaluating if you operate workloads in that region, but no deadline or forced migration.

Platform/SRE — Learn: New instance family now available in the EU Sovereign Cloud region; worth noting for teams operating compute-intensive workloads there, but no deadline or forced migration — evaluate during next capacity-planning cycle.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Plan: If you run memory-intensive workloads (databases, in-memory caches) in any of these four newly covered regions, evaluate migrating from M8g to M9g this quarter for up to 25% better compute performance and the new Nitro Isolation Engine security guarantees.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: Graviton5-based M9g instances reaching more regions broadens the Arm-based compute option for cost and performance optimization; useful context for the next FinOps or instance-family review, but no strategic decision is forced.

Platform/SRE — Learn: Graviton5 instances offer up to 25% better compute performance over C8g in Tokyo; worth evaluating for compute-intensive or latency-sensitive workloads in that region, but no migration deadline or forced change.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Plan: If your platform manages ML workloads or uses mixed reservation types, this GA change lets you consolidate Capacity Blocks and interruptible ODCRs into unified resource groups with prioritization and On-Demand fallback — worth incorporating into capacity planning and Auto Scaling group configs this quarter.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Learn: Regional expansion of Graviton4 NVMe-backed instances is worth noting if you run I/O-intensive workloads in Singapore, Melbourne, Zurich, or Mexico — no forced migration, just new capacity options to evaluate when rightsizing or expanding footprint.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Learn: If you run memory-intensive workloads (in-memory caches, NoSQL, EDA) in the Taipei region, R8a instances offer a meaningful upgrade over R7a in memory bandwidth and price-performance, but no existing infrastructure needs to change.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Learn: New memory-optimized instance family now available in Calgary; worth evaluating if you run memory-intensive or PostgreSQL workloads in that region, but no deadline or breaking change forces action.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Skip

Platform/SRE — Plan: I8ge instances (Graviton4, 3rd-gen Nitro SSDs, up to 120TB NVMe) are now GA in two more regions — worth evaluating as a replacement for Im4gn or I3en nodes in storage-heavy workloads this quarter.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: New storage-optimized Graviton4 instance family expanding regionally; relevant context for future Graviton migration planning or FinOps reviews comparing storage-intensive workload costs.
Signals: GA announcement

Platform/SRE — Learn: Regional availability expansion for a specialized ultra-high-memory instance tier — worth knowing if you operate SAP HANA, Oracle, or SQL Server workloads with EU data residency requirements, but no operational change needed unless that’s your workload.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: If the org runs large in-memory databases and has EU data residency constraints, Paris region availability of the 24 TiB tier may inform infrastructure placement decisions, but no immediate strategic action is required.

Platform/SRE — Learn: If you run GPU-accelerated or AI inference workloads, G7 instances are now available in us-east-1 as an option to evaluate; no deadline or forced migration, just a new capacity option to factor into future instance-type decisions.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: Relevant context for teams evaluating GPU infrastructure for AI inference or graphics workloads in the US East region; no pricing model change or vendor-risk angle, but worth tracking if you’re building out an AI/ML platform strategy.
