I see that the prices on the M3 instances dropped a bit more than the prices on the M1 instances did, so they are encouraging us customers even more to move from the older HHD based instances to the newer, faster SSD based instances.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoThey want to retire the m1 hardware. Probably costs more per hour for power to run than the new m3 hardware.
- mpg33 13y agoM1 is older hard drives and M3 is SSD? Didn't know that
- clogston 13y agoYeah, but keep in mind it's only applicable if you use instance-based storage (which you declare when you spin up the instance). If you use an EBS mount it's a moot point.
- troels 13y agoThe m3 instances were already cheaper than the m1 before (as well as faster). I assume they want to get rid of the old hardware.
