Amazon EC2 Adds AMI Ancestry for Complete Lineage Visibility

🔍 Amazon EC2 now publishes AMI ancestry, enabling you to trace an AMI’s full lineage from its immediate parent back to the root across regions. This built‑in visibility replaces manual tagging and cross‑region record‑keeping, simplifying compliance audits and incident response. AMI ancestry is accessible via the AWS CLI, SDKs, and Console at no additional cost. It helps quickly identify all derived AMIs when a vulnerability is discovered in an ancestor, improving remediation speed and reducing operational risk.

Amazon EC2 C7i‑flex Instances Now Available in UAE Region

🚀Amazon Web Services has launched EC2 C7i-flex instances in the Middle East (UAE), offering up to 19% better price performance versus C6i. Powered by AWS-exclusive 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) custom processors and priced about 5% below C7i, these instances cover common sizes from large through 16xlarge. They target web and application servers, caches, databases, Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch and other compute-intensive workloads that don’t fully utilize all vCPUs. For sustained heavy-CPU needs or very large configurations, customers can continue to use standard C7i instances.

Amazon EC2 High-Memory U7i-8tb Instances in London

🚀 AWS has launched Amazon EC2 U7i-8tb (u7i-8tb.112xlarge) instances in the Europe (London) region, offering 8 TiB of DDR5 memory and 448 vCPUs for memory-intensive workloads. Powered by custom fourth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids), these 7th-generation instances deliver up to 135% more compute than prior U-1 instances and support up to 100 Gbps for EBS and networking with ENA Express. They are aimed at mission-critical in-memory databases like SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server.

AWS Adds R8i and R8i-flex Instances in New Regions

🚀 AWS today expanded availability of EC2 R8i and R8i‑flex instances to Asia Pacific (Malaysia, Singapore) and Europe (Frankfurt). These instances use custom Intel Xeon 6 processors exclusive to AWS and deliver up to 15% better price‑performance and 2.5× more memory bandwidth versus prior Intel‑based generations. R8i targets large, memory‑intensive workloads with 13 sizes (including two bare‑metal and a new 96xlarge) and SAP certification at 142,100 aSAPS, while R8i‑flex offers common memory‑optimized sizes from large to 16xlarge for cost-efficient right‑sizing.
