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.

The G6e instance family, generally available since August 15, 2024, features NVIDIA L40S Tensor Core GPUs and 3rd generation AMD EPYC processors. These instances offer up to 400 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 7.6 TB of local NVMe SSD storage. With up to 192 vCPUs and 1.536 TB of system memory, they are well-suited for AI inference and spatial computing workloads.

Atom feed for new regions

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).
