32 vCPU · 128 GiB · 15 Gigabit · AWS Graviton4 Processor Graviton

$1.2269/hour on-demand · $896/month (Linux, Shared)

m8gd.8xlarge is a general-purpose EC2 instance with 32 vCPU and 128 GiB, generation 8 of the m family on AWS Graviton (Arm). On-demand it costs $1.2269 an hour, about $896 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.7729 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 $0.5300 an hour, 57% below on-demand. The newer m8g.8xlarge offers the same size for $1.0266 an hour, 16% less. Asia Pacific (Mumbai) is already the cheapest region for m8gd.8xlarge.

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.
