Supported regions and instance types

Aerospike Cloud is available in specific AWS regions and their corresponding availability zones. Aerospike Cloud supports a variety of instance types to support your workloads.

Tip

Aerospike can support additional regions or instance types upon request.

Supported AWS regions

The following table shows the AWS regions and availability zones where Aerospike Cloud is available. All regions support a minimum of three availability zones for high-availability deployments.

Region	Region Name	Instance Types	Availability Zones	Zone Count
ap-south-1	Asia Pacific (Mumbai)	i4i, m5d, r8g, r6gd, r7gd	aps1-az1, aps1-az2, aps1-az3	3
ap-southeast-1	Asia Pacific (Singapore)	i4i, m5d	apse1-az1, apse1-az2, apse1-az3	3
ap-southeast-2	Asia Pacific (Sydney)	i4i, m5d, r8g	apse2-az1, apse2-az2, apse2-az3	3
eu-central-1	Europe (Frankfurt)	i4i, m5d, r8g	euc1-az1, euc1-az2, euc1-az3	3
eu-west-1	Europe (Ireland)	i4i, m5d, r8g	euw1-az1, euw1-az2, euw1-az3	3
us-east-1	US East (N. Virginia)	i4i, m5d, r8g	use1-az1, use1-az2, use1-az3, use1-az4, use1-az5, use1-az6	6
us-east-2	US East (Ohio)	i4i, m5d, r8g	use2-az1, use2-az2, use2-az3	3
us-west-2	US West (Oregon)	i4i, m5d, r8g, i4g	usw2-az1, usw2-az2, usw2-az3, usw2-az4	4

Supported AWS instance types

The following table shows the AWS instance types you can use when provisioning an Aerospike Cloud database cluster.

Instance Family	Description	Regions Available
i4i	Storage optimized with NVMe SSD	All regions
m5d	General purpose with local NVMe SSD	All regions
r8g	Memory optimized (ARM-based Graviton3)	8 regions: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2, eu-west-1, eu-central-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-south-1
i4g	Storage optimized alternative to i4i	1 region: us-west-2
r6gd	Memory optimized alternative to r8g	1 region: ap-south-1
r7gd	Memory optimized alternative to r8g	1 region: ap-south-1

Caution

AWS does not guarantee availability of specific instance types. Aerospike Cloud does not currently reserve instance capacity for every instance type and cannot guarantee immediate availability of your requested instance type. The healthy provisioning of a cluster depends on how long it takes for AWS to supply the requested instance type.

If you find a cluster is taking too long to provision, you can decommission it and select a different instance type. Common families like i4i and r5g tend to have more availability, and you can often achieve similar cluster optimizations with a different configuration. Your account manager can help you size your cluster appropriately.
