Amazon Web Services unveiled new EC2 Arm-based instances powered by its AWS-designed Graviton2 processors, along with Inf1 machine-learning inference instances powered by its custom AWS Inferentia chips. "If you look at instances to start, it's not just that we have meaningfully more instances than anybody else, but it's also that we've got a lot more powerful capabilities in each of those instances," AWS CEO Andy Jassy said in his keynote address at the AWS re:Invent 2019 conference in Las Vegas. AWS' pace of innovation has resulted in a significant increase in instances, Jassy said, and AWS now has four times more types today than two years ago. "We have the most powerful GPU machine-learning training instances, most powerful GPU graphics rendering instances, the largest in-memory instances for SAP workflows with 24 terabytes, the fastest processors in the cloud with the z1d," Jassy said. "You've got the only standard instances that have 100 Gigabits per second of network connectivity, the only instances that have all the processor choices from Intel and AMD. A very different set of capabilities on the instances side."
