Analysis
The c8gd.24xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8gd series with 96 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.7 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the c8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $3.83/hour, 19% less ($638 a month). The other variants are the c8i.24xlarge at $4.50, the c8a.24xlarge at $5.17 and the c8id.24xlarge at $5.32.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $3,149 a month per instance: $2.99/hour against $7.30/hour, a 144% spread.
The newer c9gd.24xlarge on AWS Graviton5 is 9.0% dearer at $5.13/hour.
It has local instance storage (3 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $4.70/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,433 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 53rd percentile per vCPU ($0.0490 per vCPU-hour) and the 57th percentile per GiB ($0.0245 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 10 of 22 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $3.67/hour.
It is size 9 of 10 in the c8gd series. Stepping up to the c8gd.48xlarge gives 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB for $3,433 more a month. Dropping to the c8gd.16xlarge saves $1,144 a month.
