Media Accelerator Instances EC2 instances

AWS groups 3 current EC2 instance types into the media accelerator instances family, across 1 series. The median Linux on-demand price in US East is $0.0542 per vCPU-hour, and 0.0% of these types run on Arm-based Graviton processors.

By median price per vCPU, the cheapest series is vt1 (Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL, $0.0542 per vCPU-hour) and the dearest is vt1 (Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL, $0.0542). Unit price is not everything: newer processors do more work per vCPU, and some series add local NVMe storage or faster networking. The table lists every current series with its size count, unit price and memory per vCPU, so you can shortlist by shape first and price second.

Prices span from the vt1.3xlarge (12 vCPUs, 24 GiB) at $0.6500/hour, about $475 a month, to the vt1.24xlarge (96 vCPUs, 192 GiB) at $5.20/hour, about $3,796 a month.
