Analysis
The c8id.24xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8id series with 96 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 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, 28% less ($1,090 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c8i.24xlarge at $4.50, the c8gd.24xlarge at $4.70 and the c8a.24xlarge at $5.17.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $1,214 a month per instance: $5.32/hour against $6.99/hour, a 31% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo, Ireland, London and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $5.32/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,885 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for compute optimized types at the 73rd percentile per vCPU ($0.0554 per vCPU-hour) and the 75th percentile per GiB ($0.0277 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 16 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 has local instance storage (2 x 2850 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40000 Megabit.
