Also gives you 224 physical CPU cores (448 logical cores).

Requires a 3-year reservation, and "the effective hourly rate for the All Upfront 3-Year Reservation for a u-12tb1.metal Dedicated Host in the US East (N. Virginia) Region is $30.539 per hour."

Works out to $267,512.88 per year, or $802,538.64 for the 3-year term. I wonder how that compares to building your own on-premise host with that much RAM (obviously, there's operational costs to consider as well).

Also, don't miss the last line: "We’re not stopping at 12 TiB, and are planning to launch instances with 18 TiB and 24 TiB of memory in 2019."
