AWS Brings High-Performance EC2 R8i Instances to Israel

Amazon EC2 R8i instances are now live in the Tel Aviv region, packing custom Intel Xeon 6 processors with up to 20% better performance and 2.5x more memory bandwidth than previous generations. These memory-hungry beasts crush workloads like PostgreSQL (30% faster), NGINX (60% faster), and AI recommendation models (40% faster), making them perfect for demanding applications that need serious compute power.
