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 EC2 C7GN family, generally available since June 20, 2023, is powered by AWS Graviton3E (Arm/aarch64) processors and the 5th generation AWS Nitro Cards. These network-optimized instances deliver up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 3x higher packet-processing performance per vCPU. Designed for demanding workloads like network virtual appliances, they provide up to 40 Gbps of EBS bandwidth and support Elastic Fabric Adapter on the largest size, but do not include local NVMe instance storage.

Written by Gemini from web sources and not checked: the specs and prices on this page come from AWS.

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.

Prices by region #

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).
