The documentation and assets provided on this branch (and other branches prefixed with f2) are relevant to F2 instances only.
The F2 FPGA Development Kit is a hardware-software development kit that enables developers to create accelerators for the high-performance accelerator cards on EC2 F2 instances. Using the development kit, you can architect, simulate, optimize, and test your designs.
For full documentation, including a user guide, code snippets, and tutorials, see the AWS EC2 FPGA Development Kit User Guide
We are currently migrating our F2 documentation to comply with the ReadTheDocs standard. To familiarize yourself with the new layout, please click here.
We are retiring the F1 instances on December 20, 2025.
Only existing F1 customers who have run F1 instances anytime between Dec 2023 - Dec 2024 can restart or launch new F1 instances. Effective December 20, 2025, F1 instances or access data stored on F1 instance local storage will be no longer available. Please transfer any needed data stored in F1 instance local storage before December 20, 2025.
