Amazon Redshift Serverless now offers 4-RPU Minimum Capacity across more aws regions

Amazon Redshift now allows you to get started with Amazon Redshift Serverless with a lower data warehouse base capacity configuration of 4 Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) in the AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Mexico (Central), Israel (Tel Aviv), Europe (Spain), Europe (Milan), Europe (Frankfurt) and Middle East (UAE) regions. Amazon Redshift Serverless measures data warehouse capacity in RPUs. 1 RPU provides you 16 GB of memory. You pay only for the duration of workloads you run in RPU-hours on a per-second basis. Previously, the minimum base capacity required to run Amazon Redshift Serverless was 8 RPUs. You can start using Amazon Redshift Serverless for as low as $1.50 per hour and pay only for the compute capacity your data warehouse consumes when it is active.

Amazon Redshift Serverless enables users to run and scale analytics without managing data warehouse clusters. The new lower capacity configuration makes Amazon Redshift Serverless suitable for both production and development environments, particularly when workloads require minimal compute and memory resources. This entry-level configuration supports data warehouses with up to 32 TB of Redshift managed storage, offering a maximum of 100 columns per table and 64 GB of memory.
