c7gd.xlarge pricing and specs in EU (Ireland)

4 vCPU · 8 GiB · Up to 12.5 Gigabit · AWS Graviton3 Processor Graviton

$0.2060/hour on-demand · $150/month (Linux, Shared)

c7gd.xlarge is a compute-optimized EC2 instance with 4 vCPU and 8 GiB, generation 7 of the c family on AWS Graviton (Arm). On-demand it costs $0.2060 an hour, about $150 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.1298 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 $0.0775 an hour, 62% below on-demand. The newer c7g.xlarge offers the same size for $0.1550 an hour, 25% less. Across regions the cheapest place to run c7gd.xlarge is Asia Pacific (Mumbai) (ap-south-1) at $0.1152 an hour, 44% below EU (Ireland).

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.
