EC2 d3 instance prices

The d3 series is a storage optimized EC2 line running on Intel Xeon Platinum 8259 (Cascade Lake). It has 4 sizes, from the d3.xlarge with 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB to the d3.8xlarge with 32 vCPUs and 256 GiB, and it is memory-heavy with a median of 8.0 GiB per vCPU.

In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $0.4990/hour to $4.00/hour, or $364 to $2,917 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.1249.

Every size costs the same $0.1247 per vCPU-hour, so price scales linearly: doubling the size doubles the bill, and two smaller instances cost exactly as much as one larger one. That makes it easy to start small and resize later without changing your unit cost. All sizes are sold in the same 11 of the 12 regions we track.
