Amazon Graviton Processor

Enabling the best price performance in Amazon EC2

Get Started with Amazon Graviton-based EC2 Instances

Amazon Graviton processors are designed by Amazon Web Services to deliver the best price performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2.

Amazon Graviton2 processors deliver a major leap in performance and capabilities over first-generation Amazon Graviton processors. Graviton2-based instances provide significant performance gains and cost savings for workloads in Amazon EC2. Graviton2-based instances support a wide range of general purpose, burstable, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated computing workloads including application servers, microservices, high-performance computing (HPC), CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, video encoding, electronic design automation, gaming, open-source databases, and in-memory caches. Many Amazon Web Services services, including Amazon Aurora、Amazon RDS、Amazon MemoryDB、Amazon ElastiCache、Amazon OpenSearch、Amazon EMR、Amazon Codebuild、Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon Neptune also support Graviton2-based instances for a fully managed experience with significant price performance benefits.

Benefits

Best price performance for a broad range of workloads

Amazon Graviton2-based T4g, M6g, C6g and R6g EC2 instances and their variants with NVMe-based SSD storage deliver up to 40% better price performance over comparable current generation x86-based instances for a broad spectrum of workloads such as application servers, microservices, video encoding, high-performance computing, electronic design automation, compression, gaming, open-source databases, in-memory caches, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

Extensive software support

Amazon Graviton processors are supported by many Linux operating systems including Amazon Linux 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE, and Ubuntu. Many popular applications and services for security, monitoring and management, containers, and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) from Amazon Web Services and software partners also support Amazon Graviton-based instances.

Enhanced security for cloud applications

Amazon Graviton processors feature key capabilities that enable you to run cloud native applications securely, and at scale. EC2 instances powered by Amazon Graviton processors are built on the Amazon Nitro System that features the Amazon Nitro security chip with dedicated hardware and software for security functions, and support for encrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes by default.

Available with managed Amazon Web Services services

Amazon Graviton-based instances are also available in popular managed Amazon Web Services such as Amazon Aurora、Amazon RDS、Amazon MemoryDB、Amazon ElastiCache、Amazon OpenSearch、Amazon EMR、Amazon Codebuild、Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon Neptune. These services deliver the price performance benefits of Amazon Graviton processors while providing a fully managed experience.
