Chip vendors, such as Intel, NVIDIA and AMD, announce significant performance and server architecture upgrades on a yearly cadence, which server manufacturers and cloud service providers then deploy as new compute instance types. Plus, many cloud service providers are now designing and deploying compute instances based on their own compute chips, such as AWS’s Graviton and Inferentia chips. But, not all of these new instances are available in every region. Keeping track of new instance offerings is a full-time job. Comparing instance offerings is even harder.

Subscribers receive monthly reports that summarize all the IaaS and bare-metal compute instances being deployed by tracked cloud service providers, region by region around the entire world. The service also includes email response within 16 business hours to answer your questions about the reports and data. Subscribers may optionally purchase analyst time to talk directly with our analysts, plus custom reports, analysis and data views.
