Analysis
The c6gd.4xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c6gd series with 16 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton2 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $409 a month per instance: $0.3920/hour against $0.9520/hour, a 143% spread.
The newer c7gd.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 is 18% dearer at $0.7258/hour.
Within the same generation and size, the c6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.5440/hour, 11% less ($51.39 a month). The other variants are the c6a.4xlarge at $0.6120, the c6i.4xlarge at $0.6800 and the c6gn.4xlarge at $0.6912.
At $0.6144/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $449 a month, the c6gd.4xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy compute optimized capacity: only 11% of the 291 current compute optimized types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0384.
It has local instance storage (1 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 3 of 31 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.5800/hour.
