AMD’s EPYC will be used for Amazon’s EC2 memory optimized and general purpose R5 and M5 instance families. AMD EPYC-powered M5 and R5 instances are offered in six sizes with up to 96 processors and up to 768 GB of memory. Meanwhile, AMD-based T3 instances will be available in 7 versions featuring up to 8 CPUs and 32 GB of memory.
AMD EPYC-based instances are already available in U.S. East (Ohio, North Virginia), U.S. West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific regions. AWS intends to install AMD EPYC-powered machines to other datacenters in the future, so eventually EPYC-based instances will be available in other regions soon, Amazon said.
