Improved cost efficiency for Super Large workspace classes for Gitpod Enterprise

We’re excited to share that the 3XLarge and 4XLarge workspace classes in Gitpod Enterprise are now significantly more cost-efficient!

What’s new? Your organization can now run three 3XLarge workspaces on a single EC2 instance, or one 3X Large and one 4XLarge workspace on a single EC2 instance. This change can reduce AWS EC2 costs if your organization relies on these workspace classes. Additionally, it means less time spent waiting for workspace starts, because there will be less EC2 instance scale-ups.

How did we achieve this?

  • Reduced vCPU for 3XLarge from 32 to 30 vCPU.
  • Reduced vCPU for 4XLarge from 64 to 60 vCPU.

What does this mean for your developers? Developers will now have slightly less vCPU for these workspace classes. They can monitor this adjustment using tools like gp top.
