Analysis
The f2.6xlarge is a fpga instances instance in the f2 series with 24 vCPUs and 256 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.95 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 10.67 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Nothing else with 24 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 5 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $506 a month per instance: $1.98/hour against $2.67/hour, a 35% spread. It is not offered in Ohio, São Paulo, Ireland, Mumbai and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
At $1.98/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $1,445 a month, the f2.6xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy fpga instances capacity: only 25% of the 6 current fpga instances types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0825.
It has local instance storage (1 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 12.5 Gigabit.
It is the smallest of the 3 f2 sizes. Stepping up to the f2.12xlarge gives 48 vCPUs and 512 GiB for $1,445 more a month.
