About this document
EC2 Hardware Cost vs. Pricing Trends by kurt_vermeersch is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the evolution of hardware used in Amazon EC2 instances over time and how hardware costs have decreased more significantly than EC2 pricing. It found that newer microprocessors with lower per GHz prices have replaced older ones in standard instance types, providing up to an 82% reduction in hardware costs. However, EC2 instance prices have only decreased by 15% over the same period, indicating Amazon has room for further price reductions if competition increases.
