Analysis
The c7gd.8xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c7gd series with 32 vCPUs and 64 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.8xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $1.16/hour, 20% less ($213 a month). The other variants are the c7i-flex.8xlarge at $1.36, the c7i.8xlarge at $1.43 and the c7a.8xlarge at $1.64.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $972 a month per instance: $0.9216/hour against $2.25/hour, a 144% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the c6gd.8xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($163 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer c8gd.8xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $1.57/hour.
On demand it costs $1.45/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,060 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 43rd percentile per vCPU ($0.0454 per vCPU-hour) and the 47th percentile per GiB ($0.0227 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 15 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 28 current types with 32 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6g.8xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $1.09/hour.
