Analysis
The hpc6id.32xlarge is a compute optimized instance in the hpc6id series with 64 vCPUs and 1024 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Icelake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 16 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer compute optimized types: 99% of the 291 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0891 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $5.70/hour in its cheapest tracked region, or $4,161 for a 730-hour month.
It has local instance storage (4 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 200 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 1 of 7 current types with 64 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the x2gd.16xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $5.34/hour.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $3.83/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 67% of the time; three years brings it to $2.82/hour, 51% below on demand. Windows Server roughly adds 52% to the bill at $8.64/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
