Amazon Redshift adds rg.large and rg.12xlarge instance sizes
Amazon Redshift announces the general availability of two new RG instance sizes - rg.large and rg.12xlarge. These new sizes deliver the same Graviton-powered performance benefits as existing RG instances, including up to 2.4x faster query performance than previous-generation RA3 instances at 30% lower price per vCPU, giving you more flexibility to right-size your provisioned clusters for any workload.
rg.large and rg.12xlarge instance sizes are available on the current track (P202) only. Customers on the trailing track (P201) can continue to use rg.xlarge and rg.4xlarge. Existing RA3 clusters can migrate to RG instances using Snapshot and Restore, Elastic Resize, or Classic Resize. RG instances are available with flexible pricing options, including On-Demand, and 1-year and 3-year Reserved Instances with No Upfront payment.
The new rg.large and rg.12xlarge instance sizes are now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), Canada (Central), Mexico (Central), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Europe (Spain), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Taiwan), Asia Pacific (Thailand), and Asia Pacific (Melbourne).
