Analysis
The c6gd.large is a compute optimized instance in the c6gd series with 2 vCPUs and 4 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 $51.10 a month per instance: $0.0490/hour against $0.1190/hour, a 143% spread.
The newer c7gd.large on AWS Graviton3 is 18% dearer at $0.0907/hour.
Within the same generation and size, the c6g.large on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.0680/hour, 11% less ($6.42 a month). The other variants are the c6a.large at $0.0765, the c6i.large at $0.0850 and the c6gn.large at $0.0864.
At $0.0768/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $56.06 a month, the c6gd.large 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 118 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 8 of 36 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.medium on AWS Graviton2 at $0.0336/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
