Cloud list prices reveal only part of the picture. We archive GPU and accelerator configurations, Spot prices, regional catalogue signals and model coverage every hour, turning snapshots into a durable market history over time.
For each Region we show a compact selection: the lowest-priced current Linux/shared configuration for every accelerator, memory and partition profile. On-Demand is a list price; Spot is an observed market price.

Spot is the median of the latest observed prices per Availability Zone in the collection window. A catalogue entry or price event does not prove capacity is currently available. Prices exclude tax; EUR is derived using the disclosed ECB reference rate.
AWS exposes Spot history for a limited period. The collector works through the oldest safe seven-day windows across all Regions, then preserves every new observation permanently.
112 of 534 Region-days across 6 Regions archived after deduplication.
Regions vary substantially in the size of their accelerator catalogues. Bars show zonal catalogue offerings; the figures separate configurations, offerings and current price events.
eu-central-1eu-west-1eu-west-2eu-west-3eu-north-1us-east-1An “AZ offering” means EC2 lists the instance as generally offered in that Availability Zone. It is not evidence of capacity that can be launched immediately.
Azure names the accelerator unambiguously for only some VM meters. We therefore show configurations with an explicit A100 or H100 signal and retain the full VM price as the billing unit.

No €/GPU-hour normalisation: the public price catalogue does not provide a reliably structured accelerator count for these rows. Prices exclude tax; a catalogue listing is not a capacity commitment.
VM price is not the only constraint. With managed AI, the Region determines which foundation models appear in the catalogue. We preserve every regional model listing and lifecycle state.
eu-central-1eu-west-1eu-west-2eu-west-3eu-north-1us-east-1A model listing indicates catalogue coverage, not guaranteed quota or runtime capacity. The collector explicitly has no model invocation permission.
Raw data stays private and auditable. The public view contains only a bounded, traceable derivation with source, observation time and a clear unit.
EC2 hardware, regional offerings and Spot events arrive hourly; stable price and model catalogues plus the ECB rate are collected daily.
Catalogue listing, zonal offering, price event and actual free capacity remain different facts. The index does not blend them.
Source price, currency, unit, effective date and checksum remain unchanged. EUR is derived separately with the dated ECB rate.
Instead of mirroring provider catalogues, the board shows aggregates and a small derived comparison set. The raw archive stays private.
This cross-section does not compare reservations, Savings Plans or effective contract discounts. Workload performance, data transfer, storage, availability and utilisation are also excluded; a low hourly price is not automatically a low-cost workload.
We compare cloud, EU Region, managed API and owned infrastructure against your workload, latency and privacy requirements.
These tools complement the current result.
