  • New Graviton4 Node Types for ElastiCache

    Amazon ElastiCache now supports Graviton4-based M8g, R8g, and C8gn node families for Valkey and Memcached. These nodes offer improved throughput, reduced latency, and better price-performance over Graviton3 nodes.

Enhancements (1)
  • Increased Memory and Network Bandwidth

    Graviton4 nodes provide more memory per node than equivalent Graviton3 nodes, with C8gn nodes specifically offering up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. This enhances performance for memory-intensive and network-intensive workloads.

Notes (1)
  • Availability and Usage

    M8g, R8g, and C8gn nodes are available in sizes from large to 16xlarge across over 30 AWS Regions. Users can create or modify clusters via the AWS Management Console, SDK, or CLI.
