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 T3A instance family, generally available since April 25, 2019, features 1st Gen AMD EPYC 7571 processors with an all-core turbo up to 2.5 GHz. These General Purpose burstable instances, built on the AWS Nitro System, use CPU credits to handle temporary spikes in usage, offering a cost-effective alternative to T3 instances. They utilize high-performance EBS for storage and offer up to 5 Gbps of networking bandwidth, but do not include local instance storage.

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).
