AWS Graviton3 processors are custom-designed AWS Graviton processors built on the AWS Nitro System. The Graviton3 processors offer several improvements over the second-generation Graviton processors. R7g database instances offer up to 30Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 20 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
You can spin up Graviton3 R7g database instances in the Amazon RDS Management Console or using the AWS CLI. Upgrading a database instance to Graviton3 requires a simple instance type modification. For more details, refer to the Aurora documentation.
