Analysis
The f2.12xlarge is a fpga instances instance in the f2 series with 48 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.95 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 10.67 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $1,013 a month per instance: $3.96/hour against $5.35/hour, a 35% spread. It is not offered in Ohio, São Paulo, Ireland, Mumbai and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
At $3.96/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $2,891 a month, the f2.12xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy fpga instances capacity: only 25% of the 6 current fpga instances types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0825.
It has local instance storage (2 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 22 of 41 current types with 48 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $2.42/hour.
It is size 2 of 3 in the f2 series. Stepping up to the f2.48xlarge gives 192 vCPUs and 2048 GiB for $8,672 more a month. Dropping to the f2.6xlarge saves $1,445 a month.
