With Windows it costs $0.4332 per hour.
How many vCPUs and how much memory does t2.2xlarge have?
t2.2xlarge has 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory (4 GiB per vCPU), running on Intel Xeon Family. It is a general purpose instance type in the T2 family with a burstable (shared) CPU.
What are the equivalents of t2.2xlarge on other clouds?
The closest matches by vCPU, memory, CPU architecture and instance class are on Azure, B8as v2 (8 vCPU, 32 GiB, $0.301/hour in East US); on Google Cloud, e2-standard-8 (8 vCPU, 32 GiB, $0.268/hour in Iowa); on Akamai, Linode 32GB (8 vCPU, 32 GiB, $0.288/hour in Newark, NJ); on Vultr, vc2-8c-32gb (8 vCPU, 32 GiB, $0.219/hour in New Jersey).
Is t2.2xlarge burstable?
Yes. t2.2xlarge shares physical CPU cores and is designed for workloads that are idle most of the time and occasionally need full CPU. Sustained high CPU use can be throttled or cost extra, so pick a general purpose size with dedicated vCPUs for steady load.
