Analysis
The c7g.xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7g series with 4 vCPUs and 8 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 $90.52 a month per instance: $0.0982/hour against $0.2222/hour, a 126% spread.
At $0.1450/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $106 a month, the c7g.xlarge 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.xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the c7i-flex.xlarge, the c7i.xlarge and the c7gd.xlarge also sit above it.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 6.6% more than the c6g.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($6.57 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8g.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $0.1595/hour.
It is size 3 of 8 in the c7g series. Stepping up to the c7g.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 16 GiB for $106 more a month. Dropping to the c7g.large saves $52.92 a month.
