g5.8xlarge pricing and specs in Asia Pacific (Mumbai)

32 vCPU · 128 GiB · 25 Gigabit · AMD EPYC 7R32 previous generation

$2.9396/hour on-demand · $2,146/month (Linux, Shared)

g5.8xlarge is a GPU EC2 instance with 32 vCPU and 128 GiB, generation 5 of the g family; AWS lists it as a previous generation. On-demand it costs $2.9396 an hour, about $2,146 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $1.8519 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 $1.1053 an hour, 62% below on-demand. The newer g6.8xlarge offers the same size for $2.4189 an hour, 18% less. Across regions the cheapest place to run g5.8xlarge is US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1) at $2.4480 an hour, 17% below Asia Pacific (Mumbai).

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.
