Posted on: Jul 13, 2026

Graviton4-based R8g database instances are now generally available for Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) in China. R8g instances are powered by Graviton4 processors and feature DDR5 memory, delivering improved performance for memory-intensive workloads. These instances are built on the Amazon Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.

Customers can get started with R8g instances through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, CLI, and SDK by modifying their existing Amazon DocumentDB database cluster or creating a new one. R8g instances are available for Amazon DocumentDB 5.0+ on both Standard and IO-Optimized cluster storage configurations.

R8g instances are available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. For more information including pricing, visit the pricing page and documentation.
