Every published g6.xlarge price
One table per billing term, cheapest first (on-demand open, other terms folded). Monthly figures follow the provider's billing: a vendor monthly cap is not the hourly price multiplied by 730.

Specification notes
- AWS public pricing data identifies this as GPU instance; it reports storage as "1 x 250 GB NVMe SSD" and network as "Up to 10 Gigabit".
- CPU architecture x86-64: AWS EC2 instance-type documentation lists g6 with AMD (x86_64) processors (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ac.html), and the AWS us-east-1 price list version 20261007165408 names the physical processor "AMD EPYC 7R13 Processor" (reviewed 2026-10-08).
- Physical CPU cores: 2 (4 vCPUs at 2 threads per core), per the EC2 instance-type docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ac.html, reviewed 2026-10-08).
- GPU: 1 x NVIDIA L4 per the EC2 accelerated-computing instance-type docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ac.html, reviewed 2026-10-08), with 24 GB of memory per card as AWS states it (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/g6/); the docs' accelerator-memory column lists 22 GiB.
- Local storage: 1 x 250 GB NVMe SSD instance store (capacity as AWS states it, in GB), per the EC2 instance-type docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ac.html, reviewed 2026-10-08). Instance store data does not persist when the instance stops.
- Network bandwidth: 2.5 Gbps baseline, bursting to 10 Gbps, per the EC2 instance-type docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ac.html, reviewed 2026-10-08); this record uses the baseline.
