Analysis
The c6in.2xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c6in series with 8 vCPUs and 16 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 c6g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.2720/hour, 40% less ($133 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c6a.2xlarge at $0.3060, the c6gd.2xlarge at $0.3072 and the c6i.2xlarge at $0.3400.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 78% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0567 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $0.4536/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $331 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $178 a month per instance: $0.4536/hour against $0.6972/hour, a 54% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 24 of 31 current types with 8 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c7g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.2900/hour.
It is size 3 of 9 in the c6in series. Stepping up to the c6in.4xlarge gives 16 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $331 more a month. Dropping to the c6in.xlarge saves $166 a month.
