The R6in and R6idn instance families utilize 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and AWS Nitro System to deliver up to 200 Gbps network bandwidth, doubling previous generation bandwidth. These instances are tailored to enhance network-intensive and memory-heavy applications such as SQL/NoSQL databases, large in-memory caches, and real-time analytics.

Availability in Europe (Paris) and Canada (Central) regions expands options for customers needing scalable, high-throughput compute resources close to their markets. Instances come in multiple sizes up to 128 vCPUs and support Elastic Fabric Adapter networking for high-performance communication.
