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 EC2 C8g instance family, generally available since September 25, 2024, is powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, which utilize the Arm Neoverse-V2 architecture, offering up to 30% better performance than C7g instances. Built on the AWS Nitro System with DDR5-5600 memory, these compute-optimized instances are EBS-optimized by default and do not include local instance storage. They provide up to 50 Gbps of enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth to Amazon EBS, with EFA support on larger sizes.

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).
