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.

Description #

The r9gd instance family, introduced in 2026, features custom-built AWS Graviton5 processors based on a 3nm process with up to 192 Arm cores. These memory-optimized instances include high-speed local NVMe SSD block storage and offer a 1:8 vCPU-to-memory ratio. Built on the AWS Nitro System, they deliver enhanced networking and EBS bandwidth along with Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support on larger sizes, making them ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, distributed caches, and real-time data analytics.

Written by Gemini from web sources and not checked: the specs and prices on this page come from AWS.
