Amazon Redshift RG instances
Powered by Amazon Graviton. Up to 4.2x better price-performance than other data warehouses. Priced 30% lower than RA3.
Why Amazon Redshift RG?
Amazon Redshift RG instances, powered by Amazon Graviton, deliver up to 4.2x better price-performance than other data warehouses, running data warehouse workloads up to 2.2x as fast as previous generation RA3 instances at 30% lower price per-vCPU. Run SQL analytics across your data warehouse and data lake from a single engine with increased performance over RA3 — up to 2.4x as fast as RA3 for Apache Iceberg and up to 1.5x as fast as RA3 for Apache Parquet. That combination of speed, cost efficiency, and an integrated data lake query engine makes Redshift RG best suited for the query volumes and latency demands of today’s analytics and agentic AI workloads.
Benefits
Advanced query optimizations, combined with the power of Amazon Graviton deliver the best performance for your workloads. The vectorized data lake query engine features a highly optimized scan layer with the latest data pruning techniques, a purpose-built I/O subsystem, and Graviton-based optimizations that make scanning Iceberg and Parquet data highly efficient. Just-in-Time (JIT)-Analyze delivers consistently fast queries without manual tuning — automatically updating table statistics as your data and workload patterns evolve. Intelligent caching keeps frequently accessed datasets close to compute, reducing round-trips to your data lake for repeated queries for faster response times.
Get RG instances at 30% lower price per vCPU than previous generation RA3 instances. Eliminate unpredictable per-terabyte scanning charges that weigh on analytics budgets. RG instances replace variable fees with a single, predictable monthly bill—reducing total costs for combined warehouse and data lake workloads.
Query your data warehouse and data lake from the same compute — no separate engine to provision, manage, or pay for. A vectorized query engine built directly into the Redshift processor handles Apache Iceberg and other open formats natively alongside your warehouse workloads.
