Analysis
The c7g.4xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7g series with 16 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (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 $362 a month per instance: $0.3926/hour against $0.8886/hour, a 126% spread.
At $0.5800/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $423 a month, the c7g.4xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy compute optimized capacity: only 5% of the 291 current compute optimized types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0362.
It is the cheapest of the 5 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The c7a.4xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the c7i-flex.4xlarge, the c7i.4xlarge and the c7gd.4xlarge also sit above it.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 6.6% more than the c6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($26.28 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $0.6381/hour.
It is size 5 of 8 in the c7g series. Stepping up to the c7g.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 64 GiB for $423 more a month. Dropping to the c7g.2xlarge saves $212 a month.
