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 R5DN memory-optimized instance family features 2nd gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Cascade Lake) with a 3.1 GHz sustained all-core turbo frequency. Equipped with local NVMe SSD instance storage, they deliver up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, making them suitable for memory and network-intensive applications.

Atom feed for new regions

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).
