Analysis
The i7i.48xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i7i series with 192 vCPUs and 1536 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.48xlarge 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 $7,886 a month per instance: $18.12/hour against $28.92/hour, a 60% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 20 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $10.89/hour.
It has local instance storage (12 x 3750 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 100 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $18.12/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $13,228 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 the largest of the 9 i7i sizes. Dropping to the i7i.24xlarge saves $6,614 a month.
