Per hour on Windows, 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 C7a instance family, generally available since October 4, 2023, is powered by 4th Gen AMD EPYC 9R14 processors (up to 3.7 GHz) for compute-intensive workloads. These Nitro System-based instances use DDR5 memory and offer up to 50 Gbps of enhanced networking bandwidth. Storage is EBS-only, but they support up to 40 Gbps of EBS bandwidth and 128 EBS volume attachments. Key features include support for AVX-512, VNNI, and bfloat16, providing up to 50% higher performance than C6a.
