AWS – Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances are now available in additional AWS region

Starting today, memory optimized Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances are available in Middle East (UAE). Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances are powered by 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all core turbo frequency of up to 4.5 GHz, the fastest in the cloud. These instances are a great fit for electronic design automation (EDA) workloads as well as relational databases that benefit from high single-threaded processor performance and a large memory footprint. The combination of high single-threaded compute performance and a 32:1 ratio of memory to vCPU make X2iezn instances an ideal fit for EDA workloads including physical verification, static timing analysis, power sign-off, and full chip gate level simulation, and database workloads that are license bounded. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which is a rich collection of building blocks that offloads many of the traditional virtualization functions to dedicated hardware, delivering high performance, high availability, and highly-secure cloud instances.

With this additional region, the X2iezn instances are now available in the AWS US West (Oregon), US East (Northern Virginia), Europe (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Middle East (UAE) regions. X2iezn instances will be available for purchase with Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Convertible Reserved, On-Demand, and Spot instances, or as Dedicated instances or Dedicated hosts.

To get started with X2iezn instances, visit the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. To learn more, visit the EC2 X2iezn instances Page, visit the AWS forum for EC2 or connect with your usual AWS Support contacts.
