Analysis
The c8id.4xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8id series with 16 vCPUs and 32 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.4xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.6381/hour, 28% less ($182 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the c8i-flex.4xlarge at $0.7122, the c8i.4xlarge at $0.7497 and the c8gd.4xlarge at $0.7838.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $202 a month per instance: $0.8870/hour against $1.16/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 $0.8870/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $648 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 23 of 31 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.5440/hour.
