Analysis
The c8gn.48xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8gn series with 192 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.8 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, 33% less ($2,715 a month). The other variants are the c8i.48xlarge at $9.00, the c8gd.48xlarge at $9.41 and the c8a.48xlarge at $10.35.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 82% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0592 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $11.38/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $8,304 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $4,460 a month per instance: $11.38/hour against $17.49/hour, a 54% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 10 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 c8gn sizes. Dropping to the c8gn.24xlarge saves $4,152 a month.
Storage is EBS only. Network: 600 Gigabit.
