EC2 i3 instance prices

The i3 series is a storage optimized EC2 line running on Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell). It has 6 sizes, from the i3.large with 2 vCPUs and 15.25 GiB to the i3.16xlarge with 64 vCPUs and 488 GiB, and it is memory-heavy with a median of 7.6 GiB per vCPU.

In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $0.1560/hour to $4.99/hour, or $114 to $3,644 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.0780.

Every size costs the same $0.0780 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 12 of the 12 regions we track.
