Analysis
The g6.xlarge is a gpu instance instance in the g6 series with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7R13 (up to 2.6 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the g6f.xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 costs $0.2375/hour, 70% less ($414 a month). The other variants are the g6e.xlarge at $1.86.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $411 a month per instance: $0.8048/hour against $1.37/hour, a 70% spread. It is not offered in Ireland and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
It is 20% cheaper than the older g5.xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R32, so staying on the previous generation costs more as well as being slower.
It carries 1 GPU with 24 GB of GPU memory, so most of the price is the accelerator rather than the CPUs. It has local instance storage (1 x 250 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
It is the smallest of the 8 g6 sizes. Stepping up to the g6.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $126 more a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.0531 to $0.2012 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
