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 D3 instance family, launched around December 2020, features 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Cascade Lake) with a sustained all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.1 GHz. These storage-optimized instances offer HDD-based instance storage ranging from 6 TB to 48 TB. They provide up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth and are built on the AWS Nitro System, making them suitable for applications requiring high sequential I/O performance and disk throughput.
