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 EC2 X8G instance family, generally available since September 18, 2024, is powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, delivering enhanced performance compared to previous generations. These memory-optimized instances offer up to 3 TiB of memory and feature networking bandwidth up to 50 Gbps, with EBS bandwidth up to 40 Gbps. X8g instances provide EBS only storage and are ideal for memory-intensive workloads.

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).
