g5.2xlarge pricing and specs in Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
8 vCPU · 32 GiB · Up to 10 Gigabit · AMD EPYC 7R32 previous generation
$1.4554/hour on-demand · $1,062/month (Linux, Shared)
g5.2xlarge is a GPU EC2 instance with 8 vCPU and 32 GiB, generation 5 of the g family; AWS lists it as a previous generation. On-demand it costs $1.4554 an hour, about $1,062 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.9169 an hour and pays for itself above roughly 459 hours a month; below that, on-demand is cheaper. The three-year options go down to $0.5472 an hour, 62% below on-demand. The newer g6f.2xlarge offers the same size for $0.5704 an hour, 61% less.

Newer generations of the same size
Same family letter and size in a newer generation, ranked by price. “vCPU per $” uses vCPU as the performance proxy — newer chips usually add more, so it is a floor.

Caveat: instance price is only part of the bill. Cross-region and internet data transfer, latency to your users, data-residency rules and service availability can outweigh a few percent on compute.
