News
Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports M8id and R8id instances powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors with significantly enhanced performance and storage capabilities.
- M8id and R8id instances scale up to 384 vCPUs, 3 TiB memory, and 22.8 TB local NVMe SSD storage
- Offer 4x the vCPUs and memory and 6x+ the local storage compared to M5d and R5d instances
- RDS automatically places tempdb data and log files on local NVMe for lower latency than EBS
- Database data and log files remain on Amazon EBS for durability
- Smaller snapshots since tempdb files on instance store are excluded from backups
- Available in 13 AWS regions including US, Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific
These new instance types enable improved performance for SQL Server workloads with reduced latency for temporary database operations.
