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 H1 instance family, launched on November 28, 2017, is designed for applications needing low-cost, high disk throughput, and high sequential disk I/O access to large datasets. These storage-optimized instances feature 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon E5 2686 v4 (Broadwell) processors. H1 instances offer up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth and provide HDD-based instance storage, with the largest instance size (h1.16xlarge) offering 16 TB of storage. They are well-suited for MapReduce workloads, distributed file systems, and log processing applications.
