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 C6GN instance family, generally available since December 18, 2020, features AWS Graviton2 processors (Arm Neoverse-N1) and is optimized for high network throughput. These compute-optimized instances offer up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth with Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support and up to 38 Gbps of dedicated EBS bandwidth. Built on the AWS Nitro System, C6GN instances do not include local NVMe instance storage. They provide up to 40% better price-performance for network-intensive workloads like HPC and network appliances.

Atom feed for new regions

Each type's regions on Linux/UNIX, cheapest first, with the same figures as the Prices table, and its price history: the daily mean of every zone and pricing run, over the last 15 UTC days. Each price column is tinted from its cheapest region (green) to its most expensive (red).
