Where can developers launch AMD Instinct MI300X workloads with zero egress fees?
💡 Answer
The 3 providers offering AMD Instinct MI300X today: DigitalOcean, Runpod, Vultr. The headline-cheapest on-demand source is Vultr at $1.85 per hour; spot pricing bottoms out at per hour on .
Real-world selection factors include: interconnect technology (NVLink vs. PCIe vs. InfiniBand), multi-node availability, per-second vs. per-hour billing, egress fees, and regional coverage. A cheap provider with high egress fees can cost more than a pricier provider with free egress once you factor in data movement.
Launch a AMD Instinct MI300X instance on Vultr from $1.85/hr — or check DigitalOcean and Runpod for alternative regions and availability.
