We have added a new instance class for Postgres Metal databases: i8ge. These are our most storage-dense Metal instances yet, pairing each size with a much larger locally-attached NVMe drive: from 1.25 TB on an M-160 all the way up to 60 TB on an M-7680.

i8ge-backed sizes are available in every size from M-160 to M-7680 in the following AWS regions:

  • AWS ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo)
  • AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai)
  • AWS ap-southeast-1 (Singapore)
  • AWS ap-southeast-2 (Sydney)
  • AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt)
  • AWS eu-west-1 (Dublin)
  • AWS us-east-2 (Ohio)
  • AWS us-west-2 (Oregon)

You can select an i8ge cluster size when creating a database or resizing an existing Metal database from the cluster configuration page.
