r5ad.2xlarge pricing and specs in Asia Pacific (Mumbai)

8 vCPU · 64 GiB · Up to 10 Gigabit · AMD EPYC 7571

$0.3320/hour on-demand · $242/month (Linux, Shared)

r5ad.2xlarge is a memory-optimized EC2 instance with 8 vCPU and 64 GiB, generation 5 of the r family. On-demand it costs $0.3320 an hour, about $242 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.2090 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 $0.1249 an hour, 62% below on-demand. The newer r6g.2xlarge offers the same size for $0.2600 an hour, 22% less and moves to Graviton. Asia Pacific (Mumbai) is already the cheapest region for r5ad.2xlarge.

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.

List prices are where it starts. Your bill is where it matters.

TruCost reads your actual AWS usage and tells you which of these commitments you should really buy, what your idle capacity costs, and where every dollar of the bill goes. Thirty minutes on your own data.
