I can see various instance prices (EC2, RDS, Elasticsearch) being 5% cheaper in Stockholm than in Ireland.
However, eu-north-1 has very limited instance types available when compared to eu-west-1, which could make you pay up to 10x more in Stockholm if you have been comfortable using t2 RDS instances in Ireland for your (test or even production) environments.
- cjg_ 8y agoIt makes no sense for AWS to launch old instance generations in a new region. Also what do you mean by 10x more if you were using t2? t3 is available in Stockholm and cheaper than t2 (and t3 in Ireland).
- raveli 8y agoT3 RDS instances are not yet available anywhere (that I know of), only T2. T2 is not available in eu-north-1. https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/rds/postgresql/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/rds/mysql/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/rds/mysql/pricing/ If you were running your databases on T2 instances on regions supporting it, migrating to the cheapest available RDS instance type in eu-north-1 would cost $0.374/hr on-demand. That's over 9 times more than the price of db.t2.micro in eu-west-1.
