AWS Brings R8i and R8i-flex Instances to European Sovereign Cloud

Amazon EC2's R8i and R8i-flex memory-optimized instances are now live in AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany), packing custom Intel Xeon 6 processors with up to 20% better performance than R7i and 2.5x more memory bandwidth. R8i-flex offers the easiest entry point for memory-heavy workloads, while R8i delivers serious muscle for SAP and other demanding apps—think 30% faster PostgreSQL, 60% faster NGINX, and 40% faster AI models.
