Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle now supports memory-optimized X2idn and X2iedn instances in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. These instances are designed to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large data sets in memory.
X2idn instances are powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processor (Ice Lake) up to 3.5 GHz. X2idn instances are ideal for high compute (128 vCPUs), large memory (up to 2 TB), and storage throughput requirements (up to 256K IOPS), making them a good choice for customers running memory-intensive workloads with a 16:1 ratio of memory to vCPU.
X2iedn instances are powered by Intel Xeon Scalable processor (Ice Lake) up to 3.5 GHz. X2iedn instances will be targeted for enterprise-class high performance databases with high compute (up to 128 vCPUs), large memory (up to 4 TB), and storage throughput requirements (up to 256K IOPS) with a 32:1 ratio of memory to vCPU.
Both X2idn and X2iedn instances support the instance store for temporary tablespace and the Database Smart Flash Cache. For more information, read the Storing temporary data in an RDS for Oracle instance store documentation. X2idn instances are available in 3 sizes with 64, 96, and 128 vCPUs. X2iedn instances are available in 7 sizes with 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 96, and 128 vCPUs.
You can launch the new instances in the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the Amazon CLI. See Amazon RDS for Oracle Pricing for up-to-date pricing and regional availability.
