Why buy R5 from us
Memory is the most expensive thing on AWS. We discount it the most.
Deepest discount, biggest memory
R5 carries the top-tier discount because memory is expensive on AWS. 35% off on r5.24xlarge's 768 GiB saves real money on every GB-hour.
High-memory quota unlocked
Memory-optimized instances are quota-gated on fresh accounts. Our sub-accounts come pre-raised — launch r5.8xlarge and above immediately.
Database-scale flexibility
Databases and caches can't pause, but with per-second metering and no term you can right-size or move memory freely.
