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.
Description #
The IS4GEN instance family, generally available since November 30, 2021, features AWS Graviton2 processors, offering the lowest cost per TB of SSD storage and the highest SSD storage density per vCPU in Amazon EC2. These storage-optimized instances provide up to 30 TB of NVMe SSD storage using AWS Nitro SSDs, with up to 50 Gbps of networking bandwidth. They are built on the AWS Nitro System and are ideal for I/O-intensive workloads requiring high throughput and low-latency access to large datasets.

Not benchmarked yet 9
These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.
Available Regions #
12 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 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).
