AWS Regions

Pricing

AWS charges vastly different amounts for EC2 instances in each region.

If your jobs can tolerate it, consider switching to a more cost-effective region as other regions can be over to 2X cheaper for the same instance type.

Here are the relative prices for the different instance types in each region.
