Analysis
The c6i.24xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c6i series with 96 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c6a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 costs $3.67/hour, 10.0% less ($298 a month). The other variants are the c6id.24xlarge at $4.84 and the c6in.24xlarge at $5.44.
At $4.08/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $2,978 a month, the c6i.24xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy compute optimized capacity: only 24% of the 291 current compute optimized types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0425.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $1,612 a month per instance: $4.08/hour against $6.29/hour, a 54% spread.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $2.70/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $1.80/hour, 56% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $8.50/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
The newer c7i.24xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) is 5.0% dearer at $4.28/hour.
