m6a.48xlarge pricing and specs in Asia Pacific (Mumbai)

192 vCPU · 768 GiB · 50 Gigabit · AMD EPYC 7R13 Processor

$5.3328/hour on-demand · $3,893/month (Linux, Shared)

m6a.48xlarge is a general-purpose EC2 instance with 192 vCPU and 768 GiB, generation 6 of the m family. On-demand it costs $5.3328 an hour, about $3,893 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $3.5218 an hour and pays for itself above roughly 482 hours a month; below that, on-demand is cheaper. The three-year options go down to $2.1106 an hour, 60% below on-demand. The newer m8g.48xlarge offers the same size for $6.1594 an hour, 15% more and moves to Graviton. Asia Pacific (Mumbai) is already the cheapest region for m6a.48xlarge.

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.
