c8gn.4xlarge pricing and specs in US West (Oregon)
16 vCPU · 32 GiB · 50 Gigabit · AWS Graviton4 Processor Graviton
$0.9480/hour on-demand · $692/month (Linux, Shared)
c8gn.4xlarge is a compute-optimized EC2 instance with 16 vCPU and 32 GiB, generation 8 of the c family on AWS Graviton (Arm). On-demand it costs $0.9480 an hour, about $692 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.5972 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 $0.3442 an hour, 64% below on-demand. The newer c8g.4xlarge offers the same size for $0.6381 an hour, 33% less. Across regions the cheapest place to run c8gn.4xlarge is Asia Pacific (Malaysia) (ap-southeast-5) at $0.9253 an hour, 2% below US West (Oregon).

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.
