Amazon Web Services (AWS) has recently implemented a price hike for its EC2 machine learning capacity blocks, raising them by roughly 15%. Specifically, the hourly rate for p5e.48xlarge instances has jumped from $34.61 to $39.80. In the context of a scarcity of AI computing resources, this action is perceived as a notable departure from the traditional cloud computing pricing rationale. It has the potential to set off a ripple effect across the industry, with both domestic and international cloud service providers possibly following in AWS's footsteps.
