CPU

Choose the right compute plan and resources — Akamai Cloud Shared CPU, Dedicated CPU, or High Memory — to match your application’s needs

Predictable pricing and native private networking for compute infrastructure

Choose from right-sized Shared CPU, Dedicated CPU, and High Memory compute instances for everything from stateful application infrastructure to lightweight ephemeral workloads. Deploy via Cloud Manager UI, our API, CLI, and supported developer tools and easily resize as your application scales. All plans include 99.99% guaranteed uptime and bundled egress.

Right-sized compute

Find the right balance of price and performance

Match your workload to the right plan. Our Shared CPU, Dedicated CPU, and High Memory pricing lineup offers competitive plans for a wide variety of use cases.

Save up to 90% on egress costs

Plans include transfer allowances, starting at 1 TB for a 1 GB Shared CPU instance. Extra egress is $0.005 per GB in the majority of Akamai Cloud regions.
