R6id instances are built on AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor, which delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. Customers can take advantage of access to high-speed, low-latency local storage to scale performance of applications such as video encoding, image manipulation, other forms of media processing, data logging, distributed web-scale in-memory caches, in-memory databases, and real-time big data analytics.
These instances are generally available today in the US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland), and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.
