Amazon RDS for SQL Server now supports memory optimized X2iedn DB instances that are well-suited for memory-intensive, read-heavy and high-throughput write operations.
X2iedn instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Ice Lake). X2iedn instances are designed for the requirements of high performance enterprise-class databases, by offering high compute (up to 128 vCPUs), large memory (up to 4 TB) and storage throughput (up to 256K IOPS) with a 32:1 memory to vCPU ratio.
X2iedn instances are supported on RDS for SQL Server version 12.00.6293.0 and higher. Get started by reading this Database Blog and creating a fully managed X2iedn database instance using the Amazon RDS Management Console or the AWS CLI. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for up-to-date pricing of instances, storage, data transfer and regional availability.
