Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML is now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East), enabling government and regulated-industry customers to reserve GPU capacity for machine learning workloads.

EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML allows you to reserve GPU instances in advance for a defined duration, giving you assured access to accelerated compute for short-duration pre-training, fine-tuning, rapid prototyping, and inference demand surges. Capacity Blocks deliver low-latency, high-throughput connectivity through colocation in Amazon EC2 UltraClusters.

You can reserve capacity up to eight weeks in advance for durations up to 6 months, in cluster sizes of one to 64 instances. Capacity Blocks can also be shared across multiple accounts using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), helping organizations coordinate ML infrastructure investments and keep reserved capacity in continuous use across workloads.

In AWS GovCloud (US), EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML is available on P6-B200 instances in AWS GovCloud (US-West), and P6-B200 and P6-B300 instances in AWS GovCloud (US-East). To get started, visit the EC2 Capacity Blocks documentation.
