Amazon EC2 G7e instances now available in Europe (London) region
Amazon Web Services has expanded availability of its EC2 G7e instances to the Europe (London) region, bringing NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU-accelerated compute to European customers. The G7e instances deliver up to 2.3x better inference performance compared to the previous generation G6e instances and are specifically designed for deploying large language models, agentic AI applications, multimodal generative AI models, and physical AI workloads. The G7e instances feature impressive specifications including up to 8 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs with 96 GB of memory per GPU, 5th Generation Intel Xeon processors, up to 192 vCPUs, and networking bandwidth reaching 1600 Gbps. The instances support advanced GPU interconnect technologies including NVIDIA GPUDirect Peer-to-Peer for multi-GPU workloads and GPUDirect RDMA with Elastic Fabric Adapter in EC2 UltraClusters to reduce latency in distributed computing scenarios. With the London region addition, G7e instances are now available across seven AWS regions including US West (Oregon), US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), Europe (Spain, London), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Seoul). Customers can purchase these GPU-accelerated instances through multiple pricing models including On-Demand, Spot Instances, or as part of AWS Savings Plans.
Why It Matters
The expansion of G7e instances to London represents AWS's continued investment in high-performance GPU compute infrastructure to support the growing demand for AI workloads in Europe. The 2.3x performance improvement over G6e instances, combined with the latest Blackwell architecture GPUs and substantial memory capacity, positions these instances as competitive options for enterprises deploying resource-intensive AI applications. The European availability is particularly significant given data sovereignty requirements and latency considerations for EU-based AI deployments.
