EC2 h1 instance prices
Storage optimized · Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell)
The h1 series is a storage optimized EC2 line running on Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell). It has 4 sizes, from the h1.2xlarge with 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB to the h1.16xlarge with 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB, and it is balanced with a median of 4.0 GiB per vCPU.
In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $0.4680/hour to $3.74/hour, or $342 to $2,733 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.0585.
Every size costs the same $0.0585 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 4 of the 12 regions we track. Each size below links to a page with prices in every tracked region, reserved-instance savings, Windows pricing and cheaper alternatives of the same shape.
