Summary

Amazon has introduced the EC2 D3 instances for Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, offering enhanced processing and storage capacities for warm and cold data tiers. These instances, now available in major AWS regions like US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US East (Ohio), and Europe (Ireland), replace the previous D2 generation by providing up to 30% higher storage capacity through RAID configuration optimization, 2.5 times faster networking, and 45% better disk throughput. The D3 instances also feature a denser RAM-to-disk ratio of 1:190, leading to a 24–34% reduction in price per GB of storage. This launch underscores Amazon's commitment to offering the latest and most cost-effective instance types across cloud providers to its Elastic Cloud customers, who can easily access these benefits by creating a deployment in the Elastic Cloud console.
