Analysis
The c8id.32xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8id series with 128 vCPUs and 256 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 c8i.32xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) costs $6.00/hour, 15% less ($802 a month). The other variants are the c8in.32xlarge at $8.71 and the c8ib.32xlarge at $8.71.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $1,619 a month per instance: $7.10/hour against $9.31/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.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 75% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0554 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $7.10/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $5,180 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 5 of 9 current types with 128 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6a.32xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $4.90/hour.
It has local instance storage (2 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 50000 Megabit.
