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 general purpose M6a family, generally available since November 29, 2021, is powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC 7R13 processors with an all-core turbo frequency up to 3.6 GHz. These instances provide up to 50 Gbps of networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of dedicated Amazon EBS bandwidth. They utilize EBS for storage, are SAP-certified, and support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) on the largest size. M6a instances also feature AMD Transparent Single Key Memory Encryption (TSME) and offer up to 35% better price-performance than M5a instances.
