Analysis
The c8id.48xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8id series with 192 vCPUs and 384 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $7.66/hour, 28% less ($2,181 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c8i.48xlarge at $9.00, the c8gd.48xlarge at $9.41 and the c8a.48xlarge at $10.35.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $2,428 a month per instance: $10.64/hour against $13.97/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 $10.64/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $7,770 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, 9 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 has local instance storage (3 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 75000 Megabit.
