Amazon EC2 G5 instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) Region

Starting today, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G5 instances powered by NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core GPUs are now available in the Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) region. G5 instances can be used for a wide range of graphics intensive and machine learning use cases.

Customers can use G5 instances for graphics-intensive applications such as remote workstations, video rendering, and cloud gaming to produce high fidelity graphics in real time. Machine learning customers can use G5 instances for high performance and cost-efficient training and inference for natural language processing, computer vision, and recommender engine use cases. G5 instances feature up to 8 NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core GPUs and 2nd generation AMD EPYC processors. They also support up to 192 vCPUs, up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, and up to 7.6 TB of local NVMe SSD storage. With eight G5 instance sizes that offer access to single or multiple GPUs, customers have the flexibility to pick the right instance size for their applications.

Customers can easily optimize G5 instances for their workloads with NVIDIA drivers specific to compute, gaming or workstation workloads. Customers can purchase G5 instances as On-Demand Instances or Reserved Instances.

EC2 Capacity Manager now includes Spot interruption metrics

Today, AWS announces new Spot interruption metrics for Amazon EC2 Capacity Manager that allow you to better understand Spot capacity across your organization. EC2 Capacity Manager helps you monitor, analyze, and manage your EC2 capacity across On-Demand, Spot, and Capacity Reservations from a single location. With this new capability, you can now track how many Spot instances are running, monitor interruption counts, and calculate interruption rates across regions, availability zones, and accounts. This enables you to make data-driven decisions about your Spot instance strategy.

EC2 Capacity Manager now includes three new metrics: ‘Spot Total Count’, ‘Spot Total Interruptions’, and ‘Spot Interruption Rate. ‘Spot Total Count’ shows the total number of distinct Spot instances or vCPUs that ran during a selected period, ‘Spot Total Interruptions’ tracks how many were interrupted, and ‘Spot Interruption Rate’ calculates the percentage of running instances that experienced interruptions. This data helps you identify patterns, compare across different regions and availability zones, and optimize your Spot instance strategy by diversifying instance types, expanding across availability zones, or using Spot placement score to identify optimal capacity pools with higher availability.

EC2 Capacity Manager with Spot interruption metrics is available in all commercial AWS Regions enabled by default at no additional cost.

To get started, visit EC2 Capacity Manager in the AWS console.
