Amazon EC2 R9g/R9gd Graviton5 memory-optimized instances now GA

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 15:20:27 +0000

Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA Graviton5 memory-optimized instances offer up to 25% better compute and 30% faster database performance vs R8g; evaluate migrating memory-intensive workloads (Kubernetes nodes, caches, databases) this quarter to capture the price-performance gains.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: Graviton5 R9g instances establish a new price-performance ceiling for memory-intensive workloads on AWS; useful context for future FinOps and instance-family standardization decisions but no forcing function today.
Signals: GA announcement

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.

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.
