i8ge.48xlarge pricing and specs in EU (Ireland)
192 vCPU · 1536 GiB · 300 Gigabit · AWS Graviton4 Processor Graviton
$25.2000/hour on-demand · $18,396/month (Linux, Shared)
i8ge.48xlarge is a storage-optimized EC2 instance with 192 vCPU and 1536 GiB, generation 8 of the i family on AWS Graviton (Arm). On-demand it costs $25.2000 an hour, about $18,396 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $17.2519 an hour and pays for itself above roughly 499 hours a month; below that, on-demand is cheaper. The three-year options go down to $10.9953 an hour, 56% below on-demand. The newer i8g.48xlarge offers the same size for $18.1536 an hour, 28% less.

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.
