Amazon unveils 'Resilient Network Graphs' data center network that cuts hardware by 69% and boosts throughput by 33% — now the default for most AWS workloads

Amazon says its new Resilient Network Graphs architecture is now the default for most AWS workloads.

The flatter, random-graph-based design reportedly boosts throughput by up to 33% while using 69% fewer networking devices.

Amazon also says the system cuts network power consumption by 40%, which could lower infrastructure costs.

First deployed in Dublin in 2024, the design has since expanded to data centers in Germany and Spain.
