Amazon EC2 R6in and R6idn instances are now available in additional regions

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) R6in and R6idn instances are available in AWS Europe (Paris) and Canada (Central) regions. These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System, deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, 2x more network bandwidth, and up to 2x higher packet-processing performance over comparable fifth-generation instances. 
Customers can use R6in and R6idn instances to scale the performance and throughput of network-intensive workloads such as memory-intensive SQL and NoSQL databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches (Memcached, Redis), in-memory databases (SAP HANA), and real-time big data analytics (Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark).    R6in and R6idn instances are available in 10 different instance sizes including metal, with up to 128 vCPUs and 1024 GiB of memory. They deliver up to 100 Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth, and up to 400K IOPS. R6in and R6idn instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support on 32xlarge and metal sizes. R6idn instances offer up to 7.6 TB of high-speed, low-latency instance storage.    With this regional expansion, R6in and R6idn instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, Paris, Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Customers can purchase the new instances through Savings Plans, Reserved, On-Demand, and Spot instances. To learn more, see R6in and R6idn instances page.

Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025 for Enterprise, Standard, and Developer editions. SQL Server 2025 brings AI integration directly into the database engine, enabling customers to invoke external REST endpoints from T-SQL without additional middleware. Customers running RDS for SQL Server can use this capability to integrate existing database workloads securely with AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon S3, and AWS Lambda, without re-architecting applications. This enables scenarios such as AI-powered query advisor, automated performance analysis, event-driven workflows, and calling custom web services on Amazon EC2. SQL Server 2025 introduces a new free edition for development and testing without licensing costs (Standard Developer Edition, or Dev-SE), and significant Standard Edition capacity increases up to 32 cores and 256 GB buffer pool memory. Standard Edition also gains Resource Governor, previously exclusive to Enterprise Edition. SQL Server 2025 also introduces a native vector data type for storing and querying vector embeddings directly within the database. Customers running earlier SQL Server versions on RDS can upgrade to SQL Server 2025 by modifying the DB engine version, and customers running SQL Server on premises can migrate to take advantage of these capabilities with fully managed infrastructure. For more information, see the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for up-to-date pricing and regional availability.
