Notes

V‑Blaze — AWS standard

200 hrs

Virtual (GPU)

g3.4xlarge, g4dn.4xlarge, g5.4xlarge

GPU hosts can process approximately 200 hours of audio per hour.

V‑Blaze — AWS minimal development

50 hrs

Virtual (no GPU)

m4.2xlarge, m5.2xlarge, m6.2xlarge, m7.2xlarge

Non-GPU hosts can process approximately 50 hours of audio per hour. This is a cost-effective host for development with customer data.
