Per hour on Windows, 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 T3 instance family, generally available since August 21, 2018, features burstable performance using custom 2.5 GHz Intel Xeon Scalable processors, including the Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL model. Built on the AWS Nitro System, these general-purpose instances offer up to 5 Gbps of peak network bandwidth and up to 2.05 Gbps of burst EBS throughput. They utilize Amazon EBS for all storage and do not include local instance storage. A key feature is the default "Unlimited" bursting capability for CPU, network, and EBS, making them ideal for workloads with variable CPU usage.

Atom feed for new regions

Each type's regions on Windows, 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).
