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 R5N instance family, generally available since October 10, 2019, is memory-optimized for network-intensive workloads. It features the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8259CL CPU (Cascade Lake) and provides up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, leveraging the AWS Nitro System and ENA. These instances primarily use EBS-only storage and offer up to 19 Gbps of dedicated EBS bandwidth. A key feature is support for Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) on larger sizes and AVX-512 VNNI for enhanced deep learning inference.

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).
