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 G6 instance family, generally available since April 4, 2024, features NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs and 3rd generation AMD EPYC processors. These GPU instances offer up to 7.52 TB of local NVMe SSD storage and up to 100 Gbps of networking bandwidth. They are designed for graphics-intensive and machine learning workloads, delivering enhanced performance compared to previous generations.

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).
