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 R8g instance family, generally available since July 9, 2024, features AWS Graviton4 processors, delivering enhanced performance for memory-intensive workloads. These instances offer up to 50 Gbps of networking bandwidth and 40 Gbps of EBS bandwidth. R8g instances may offer local NVMe-based SSD storage and are built on the AWS Nitro System for maximized resource efficiency and security.

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

2 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).
