Analysis
The c6in.large is a compute optimized instance in the c6in series with 2 vCPUs and 4 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.large on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.0680/hour, 40% less ($33.14 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c6a.large at $0.0765, the c6gd.large at $0.0768 and the c6i.large at $0.0850.
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 $0.1134/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $82.78 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $44.46 a month per instance: $0.1134/hour against $0.1743/hour, a 54% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 29 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.
