Amazon EC2 Flex larger instance sizes are now available in AWS Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Flex instances (C7i-flex, M7i-flex) larger sizes are available in Asia Pacific (Seoul) region. The new sizes (12xlarge, 16xlarge) expand the EC2 Flex portfolio, providing additional compute options to scale-up existing workloads or run larger sized applications that need additional memory. These instances are powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, that are available only on AWS, and offer up to 15% better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors utilized by other cloud providers.

Flex instances are the easiest way for you to get price-performance benefits for a majority of general-purpose and compute intensive workloads. They deliver up to 19% better price performance than comparable previous generation instances and are a great first choice for applications that do not fully utilize the compute resources. Flex instances are ideal for web and application servers, batch processing, enterprise applications, databases, and more. For compute-intensive and general-purpose workloads that need even larger instance sizes (up to 192 vCPUs and 768 GiB memory) or continuous high CPU usage, you can leverage Amazon EC2 C7i and M7i instances.
