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 I3EN storage-optimized instances, released on May 8, 2019, utilize 1st or 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 3.1 GHz sustained all-core turbo. They feature up to 60 TB of low-latency NVMe SSD instance storage, providing the lowest price per GB of SSD storage on x86 EC2. Networking delivers up to 100 Gbps of bandwidth, making them ideal for I/O-intensive workloads like NoSQL databases and data warehousing. The family also includes a bare metal instance type, i3en.metal.

These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.

34 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.

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).
