This makes them a lot cheaper in regions where prices of other instances are higher:Eg Pricing in US.East: r3.xlarge 4 Cores 30.5G RAM $0.350/h m3.xlarge 4 cores 15G RAM $0.280/h Pricing in Tokyo: r3.xlarge 4 Cores 30.5G RAM $0.350/h m3.xlarge 4 cores 15G RAM $0.405/h It'll probably be fixed soon though..−kristianp12yWhat makes these instances "Memory Optimised"?−ksec12yProperly just referring to large amount of Memory. It should be Large Memory instance.
