Analysis
The c8in.96xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the c8in series with 384 vCPUs and 768 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.96xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) costs $17.99/hour, 31% less ($5,939 a month). The other variants are the c8id.96xlarge at $21.29 and the c8ib.96xlarge at $26.13.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $5,828 a month per instance: $26.13/hour against $34.11/hour, a 31% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London and Mumbai, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 92% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0680 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $26.13/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $19,073 for a 730-hour month.
It is the largest of the 11 c8in sizes. Dropping to the c8in.48xlarge saves $9,536 a month.
Windows Server roughly adds 68% to the bill at $43.79/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
