Amazon Redshift RA3 instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Osaka), Europe (Milan), Middle East (Bahrain) and Africa (Cape Town) regions. Amazon Redshift RA3 instances with managed storage allow you to scale and pay for compute and storage independently for fast query performance and lower costs, and also enable you to more securely and more easily share live data across Amazon Redshift clusters. RA3 is available in three different node types, RA3.16xlarge, RA3.4xlarge, and RA3.xlplus to help you to balance price and performance depending upon your workload requirements.

To upgrade your cluster to a RA3 cluster, you can take a snapshot of your existing Amazon Redshift cluster and restore it to an RA3 cluster, or do a resize from your existing cluster to a new RA3 cluster. To learn more about RA3 nodes, see the Amazon Redshift RA3 feature page. You can find more information on pricing by visiting the Amazon Redshift pricing page.
