Per hour on Linux/UNIX, in each type's cheapest region. Typical spot: per pricing run of the last 7 days, the cheapest zone's spot price, averaged, as the finder shows it with that region selected. On-demand: the same region's price. Per vCPU-hour: the spot price, or without spot the on-demand price, per vCPU. Every region is under Prices by region.
Description #
The C1 instance family, generally available since May 2008, features Intel Xeon processors. These compute-optimized instances are designed for compute-intensive tasks requiring high CPU performance. C1 instances provide high network performance. Instance storage includes SSD, with varying sizes depending on the specific C1 instance type.

Specs #
| Type | vCPU | Memory | Local storage | Network | EBS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| c1.medium | 2 | 1.7 GiB | 350 GB HDD | up to 1.2 (0.3 baseline) | - |
| c1.xlarge | 8 | 7 GiB | 4 × 420 GB HDD | up to 10 (1 baseline) | 1 |
Network and EBS: peak bandwidth in Gbit/s, with the bandwidth the type sustains when it is lower. Local storage: the instance store, in decimal GB as AWS sizes it.
