Many customers use R5 instances with EBS for large relational database workloads such as commerce platforms, ERP systems, and health record systems, and they rely on EBS to provide scalable, durable, and high availability block storage. This new instance offers up to 60Gbps of EBS bandwidth and 260,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS). The new R5b instance is powered by the AWS Nitro System to provide the best network-attached storage performance available on EC2. Today, we are happy to announce the availability of R5b, a new addition to the R5 instance family. A broad range of workloads, such as relational and non-relational databases, enterprise applications, containerized applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, and media workflows are widely deployed on Amazon EBS. Amazon EBS is an easy-to-use, high-performance and highly available block storage service designed for use with Amazon EC2 for both throughput- and transaction-intensive workloads at any scale. In addition, all R5b instances work with Amazon Elastic Block Store. R5d instances offer up to 3.6TB of NMVe instance storage for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage.

R5 instances offer two different block storage options. R5 instances are designed for memory-intensive applications such as high-performance databases, distributed web scale in-memory caches, in-memory databases, real time big data analytics, and other enterprise applications. In July 2018, we announced memory-optimized R5 instances for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
