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 I2 instance family, launched in December 2013, is designed for I/O intensive workloads. These storage-optimized instances feature Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 (Ivy Bridge) processors. I2 instances come with local SSD storage, ranging from 800 GB to 6.4 TB, and offer Enhanced Networking for low latency and high packet per second performance within a VPC. They are a previous generation instance type and may not be the best choice for new applications.

These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.
Available Regions #
11 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).
