Analysis
The i7i.24xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i7i series with 96 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) (up to 3.2 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
It is the cheapest of the 2 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The i7ie.24xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) costs 38% more, and no others also sit above it.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $3,943 a month per instance: $9.06/hour against $14.46/hour, a 60% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 25 of 35 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 at $5.42/hour.
It has local instance storage (6 x 3750 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 56.25 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $9.06/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $6,614 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 50th percentile per vCPU ($0.0944 per vCPU-hour) and the 39th percentile per GiB ($0.0118 per GiB-hour).
It is size 8 of 9 in the i7i series. Stepping up to the i7i.48xlarge gives 192 vCPUs and 1536 GiB for $6,614 more a month. Dropping to the i7i.16xlarge saves $2,205 a month.
