A bit lost on how things work here, what is this platform best used for, and what are the best tips or starter packs for getting started? Excited to connect! ✨

Amazon EC2 C8gd and M8gd instances are now available in additional regions
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8gd and M8gd instances with up to 11.4 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are now available in additional regions. C8gd instances are now available in Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), and Asia Pacific (Seoul). M8gd instances are now available in Europe (Stockholm), US West (N. California), and Asia Pacific (Singapore). These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, delivering up to 30% better performance over Graviton3-based instances. They have up to 40% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 20% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics than comparable AWS Graviton3-based instances. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System and are a great fit for applications that need access to high-speed, low latency local storage. Each instance is available in 12 different sizes. They provide up to 50 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS). Additionally, customers can now adjust the network and Amazon EBS bandwidth on these instances by 25% using EC2 instance bandwidth weighting configuration, providing greater flexibility with the allocation of bandwidth resources to better optimize workloads. These instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes. C8gd instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance web servers, batch processing, distributed analytics, ad serving, video encoding, and gaming servers. M8gd instances are well-suited for balanced workloads including application servers, microservices, enterprise applications, and small to medium databases. To learn more, see Amazon C8gd Instances and Amazon M8gd Instances. To explore how to migrate your workloads to Graviton-based instances, see AWS Graviton Fast Start program and Porting Advisor for Graviton. To get started, see the AWS Management Console.

One should think the SK leadership would look to Europe and particulary Ukraine for a new partner.
