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.

The C6GD instance family, generally available since July 27, 2020, features the AWS Graviton2 processor with 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores, delivering up to 40% better price performance than comparable C5 instances. These Compute Optimized instances are built on the AWS Nitro System and include local NVMe SSD storage for high-speed, low-latency data access. They offer Enhanced Networking with up to 25 Gbps of bandwidth, suitable for workloads like high-performance computing, batch processing, and video encoding.
