Amazon Graviton2 processors deliver a major leap in performance and capabilities. Amazon Graviton2 instances are built on the Amazon Nitro System, a collection of Amazon-designed hardware and software innovations that enable the delivery of efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy, private networking, and fast local storage. Amazon Elasticsearch Service Graviton2 instances come in sizes large through 16xlarge and offer compute, memory, and storage flexibility.
