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.

The R5d memory-optimized instance family was generally available on July 25, 2018, featuring Intel Xeon Platinum 8000 series processors, such as the 8259CL, with a sustained all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.1 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro System, R5d instances include high-speed local NVMe SSD instance storage, offering up to 3.6 TB for I/O intensive workloads. They provide up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth, making them suitable for high-performance databases and in-memory analytics.

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

28 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 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).
