Analysis
The c5d.24xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c5d series with 96 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8275L (up to 3.4 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R32 costs $3.70/hour, 20% less ($666 a month). The other variants are the c5.24xlarge at $4.08 and the c5ad.24xlarge at $4.13.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,857 a month per instance: $4.61/hour against $7.15/hour, a 55% spread.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $2.90/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $1.94/hour, 58% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $9.02/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
It has local instance storage (4 x 900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $4.61/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,364 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 49th percentile per vCPU ($0.0480 per vCPU-hour) and the 53rd percentile per GiB ($0.0240 per GiB-hour).
