News



AWS Glue has expanded its worker types to support larger and more memory-intensive data processing workloads:

  • New general compute workers: G.12X and G.16X with increased compute, memory, and storage
  • New memory-optimized workers: R.1X, R.2X, R.4X, and R.8X with double the memory of G workers
  • Enables more complex data transformations, aggregations, joins, and queries
  • Supports processing higher volumes of data with Apache Spark
  • Accessible through AWS Glue Studio, notebooks, Visual ETL, and Glue Job APIs

These new worker types provide AWS Glue customers with more flexible and powerful data processing capabilities for resource-intensive workloads.
