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 C9gd instance family, generally available since June 30, 2026, features custom-designed AWS Graviton5 processors with DDR5-8800 memory and five times more L3 cache than the previous generation. These compute-optimized instances offer up to 11.4TB of high-speed, low-latency local NVMe SSD storage and up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth. They are the first compute-optimized instances to feature the AWS Nitro Isolation Engine for mathematically proven VM isolation, making them ideal for high-performance computing and agentic AI workloads.
