Quick EC2 Pricing Chart

Posted on Sunday, February 3, 2013


These prices were updated 2/01/2013

This go around 2 new ec2 types were added and several linux ec2 types had their hourly rates reduced by 9-14%



I do not know about you, but working in a small business I don’t need that many servers, at most a dozen or so.   Not a large enough set of servers to use complicated analytics to reduce our aws bill every month.  I figure out by hand what our needs are and what the server costs will be.   With that in mind I keep an ec2 pricing chart for quick reference to compare hourly, monthly, and yearly prices (with reserved instances).   All these prices are for the East region (which match the West-2 “Oregon” region as well)



   Types


EC2 comes in several types.  They come in different sizes and in linux/windows flavors.  Their CPU power is listed by EC2 Compute Units, “One EC2 Compute Unit provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a 1.0-1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor.” [8]  Here  are the current types and cost per hour on the East Coast Facility (N. Virginia) 01/24/2012.

MONTHLY costs


I prefer to think of the monthly 24x7 costs of servers so I calculated that with this chart   (price*24*31)  24 hours a day 31 days in a month.

Yearly Rates


You can also pay a one-time fee for a “Reserved” instance.  A reserved instance does two things,  it guarantees you a spot for your server (should a zone get full… a rare thing) and it also lowers your hourly charge for running the server.

There are a few different options for the upfront costs, light medium and Heavy.   One year or three year contract.    For these calculations I assume a heavy usage (24x7) and only a 1 year contract.

I am also only going to go over the Linux prices here.
