Amazon Redshift RG instances now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon Redshift RG instances, powered by AWS Graviton processors, are now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) and AWS GovCloud (US-East) Regions. RG instances deliver better performance, running data warehouse and data lake workloads up to 2.4x as fast as previous generation RA3 instances, at 30% lower price per vCPU. RG instances include Redshift's custom-built vectorized data lake query engine that processes Apache Iceberg and Parquet data on your cluster nodes, enabling you to run SQL analytics across your data warehouse and data lake using a single engine. RG instances are available in two instance sizes, rg.xlarge and rg.4xlarge. Customers with existing RA3 clusters can upgrade them to RG using Snapshot & Restore, Elastic Resize, or Classic Resize. RG instances are available with flexible pricing options, including On-Demand, and 1-year and 3-year Reserved Instances with All Upfront, Partial Upfront, and No Upfront payment options.
