Analysis
The c7gd.4xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7gd 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.
Within the same generation and size, the c7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.5800/hour, 20% less ($106 a month). The other variants are the c7i-flex.4xlarge at $0.6783, the c7i.4xlarge at $0.7140 and the c7a.4xlarge at $0.8211.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $486 a month per instance: $0.4608/hour against $1.13/hour, a 144% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the c6gd.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($81.32 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8gd.4xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $0.7838/hour.
On demand it costs $0.7258/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $530 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 44th percentile per vCPU ($0.0454 per vCPU-hour) and the 48th percentile per GiB ($0.0227 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 15 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 14 of 31 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.5440/hour.
