Analysis
The g4dn.8xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g4dn series with 32 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Family (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the g4ad.8xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R32 costs $1.73/hour, 20% less ($323 a month).
It carries 1 GPU with 16 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 50 Gigabit.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,111 a month per instance: $2.18/hour against $3.70/hour, a 70% spread.
At $2.18/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $1,588 a month, the g4dn.8xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy gpu instance capacity: only 19% of the 78 current gpu instance types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0680.
It is size 4 of 6 in the g4dn series. Stepping up to the g4dn.12xlarge gives 48 vCPUs and 192 GiB for $1,267 more a month. Dropping to the g4dn.4xlarge saves $710 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.0680 to $0.1315 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
