Services
AWS Glue now offers large and memory-optimized workers in the AWS Europe (Spain) Region, giving customers in this region more power to handle complex data processing workloads. The new additions include two general compute workers (G.12X and G.16X) as well as four memory-optimized workers (R.1X, R.2X, R.4X, and R.8X). With these options, you can now tackle more complex transforms, aggregations, joins, and queries while processing higher volumes of data quickly using AWS Glue.
The G.12X and G.16X workers extend the existing G worker lineup with additional compute, memory, and storage which makes them ideal for large, resource-intensive workloads. The R-series workers (R.1X, R.2X, R.4X, and R.8X) offer double the memory of their G counterparts, making them well-suited for memory-intensive Spark operations such as caching, shuffling, and aggregating. You can select any of these worker types through AWS Glue Studio, using [notebooks](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/create-notebook-job.html) or [Visual ETL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/author-job-glue.html), or programmatically via the Glue Job APIs.
For more information on these worker types and AWS Regions where they are available, visit the [AWS Glue documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/add-job.html).
