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 M5N instance family, generally available since October 2019, is powered by the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Cascade Lake, 8259CL) with a sustained all-core turbo of 3.1 GHz. These general-purpose instances offer up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 19 Gbps of dedicated EBS bandwidth. M5N instances are EBS-only, meaning they do not include local instance storage, unlike the M5DN variant. They are built on the AWS Nitro System and support Intel AVX-512 VNNI for enhanced deep learning inference.

Network and EBS: peak bandwidth in Gbit/s, with the bandwidth the type sustains when it is lower. Local storage: the instance store, in decimal GB as AWS sizes it.

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).
