Analysis
The c8gd.48xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8gd series with 192 vCPUs and 384 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $7.66/hour, 19% less ($1,277 a month). The other variants are the c8i.48xlarge at $9.00, the c8a.48xlarge at $10.35 and the c8id.48xlarge at $10.64.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $6,297 a month per instance: $5.97/hour against $14.60/hour, a 144% spread.
The newer c9gd.48xlarge on AWS Graviton5 is 9.0% dearer at $10.25/hour.
It has local instance storage (6 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 50 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $9.41/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $6,866 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, 5 of 14 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $7.34/hour.
It is the largest of the 10 c8gd sizes. Dropping to the c8gd.24xlarge saves $3,433 a month.
