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.
Description #
The D2 instance family, designed for workloads requiring high sequential read/write access, features Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell) processors. D2 instances provide HDD-based local storage, up to 48 TB per instance, and deliver high disk throughput. Networking capabilities include support for Enhanced Networking, and they are EBS-optimized, ensuring efficient utilization of EBS volume IOPS. D2 instances are a previous generation instance type.

These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.
Available Regions #
20 regions with a price in the last 7 days. Select up to 4 to compare them in the price history charts under Prices by region.
Prices by region #
Each type's regions on Windows, 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).
