I wonder why the m4 instances are less expensive than the m3s: m4.xlarge is $0.252 vs m3.xlarge $0.266. The c4 instances are more expense than the c3 instances.

- wnevets 11y agoI think the m3s were cheaper than the m2s when they we launched.
- kijin 11y agoYeah, I think Amazon does this on purpose to encourage people to move to the new lineup, so that the old, underperforming, energy-inefficient lineup can be decommissioned sooner.
- listic 11y agoI look at this the other way around: older instances are more expensive, compared to the newer ones, when those arrive. And that is a common thing in the hosting business, either EC2 or not.
