Analysis
The i7i.4xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i7i series with 16 vCPUs and 128 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.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $657 a month per instance: $1.51/hour against $2.41/hour, a 60% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 33 of 42 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.8064/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 3750 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $1.51/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,102 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 52nd percentile per vCPU ($0.0944 per vCPU-hour) and the 41st percentile per GiB ($0.0118 per GiB-hour).
It is size 4 of 9 in the i7i series. Stepping up to the i7i.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 256 GiB for $1,102 more a month. Dropping to the i7i.2xlarge saves $551 a month.
Windows Server roughly adds 49% to the bill at $2.25/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
