Prices Reduced for EC2’s M3 Instances
I am happy to announce that we are reducing the On-Demand and Reserved Instance prices for Amazon EC2’s M3 (Second Generation Standard) instances, effective November 1.
We are lowering the On-Demand prices of M3 instances by 10%. Regardless of which region you are running M3 instances in, these price reductions will automatically be reflected in your AWS charges.
Here are the new and old On-Demand prices in the US East (Northern Virginia) Region. See the EC2 Pricing page for prices in the other Regions:
Instance Type | New On-Demand Price | Old On-Demand Price |
m3.xlarge | $0.45/hour | $0.50/hour |
m3.2xlarge | $0.90/hour | $1.00/hour |
We have also lowered the prices for new M3 Reserved Instances by 15%. This price reduction applies to Reserved Instance purchases made on or after November 1, 2013.
