During Oracle Open World 2018 in San Francisco, Oracle announced, through collaboration with AMD, a new set of instances. Oracle and AMD will provide a new “E” series of compute instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The new instances leverage AMD’s EPYC CPUs to bring higher core count, memory bandwidth, I/O bandwidth, advanced security features, and value. The first instance available is the Compute Standard E2 platform.
All technology is in a state of constant evolution, including computing. As the technology evolves so do customer needs and requirements. At the forefront of these needs is price and performance. With this in mind, Oracle and AMD have rolled out the E Series of instances, making Oracle first public cloud to have a generally available AMD EPYC processor-based compute instance. Leveraging EPYC CPUs gives Oracle the largest core count in production for a public cloud at 64 cores. The E Series offers a third more memory lanes, up to 269Gb/s memory bandwidth, and the lowest cost for a non-burstable compute instance in the public cloud.
Key Use Cases
Availability and Pricing
The Compute Standard E2 platform in generally available now and has a rate of $0.03 per core hour. Initial capacity is available in the Ashburn (IAD) region, expanding to other regions soon. Oracle is offering bare metal compute instances and 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-core VM compute instances with the 16- and 24-core shapes tp be offered in the first half of 2019.
