Analysis
The i4i.large is a storage optimized instance in the i4i series with 2 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the i4g.large on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.1544/hour, 10% less ($12.82 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $74.46 a month per instance: $0.1720/hour against $0.2740/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.1720/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $126 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 37th percentile per vCPU ($0.0860 per vCPU-hour) and the 33rd percentile per GiB ($0.0107 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 28 of 44 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.large on AWS Graviton2 at $0.1008/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 468 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
It is the smallest of the 9 i4i sizes. Stepping up to the i4i.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $125 more a month.
