Analysis
The i7i.large is a storage optimized instance in the i7i series with 2 vCPUs and 16 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.large 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 $82.13 a month per instance: $0.1888/hour against $0.3013/hour, a 60% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 34 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.
On demand it costs $0.1888/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $138 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 54th percentile per vCPU ($0.0944 per vCPU-hour) and the 43rd percentile per GiB ($0.0118 per GiB-hour).
It is the smallest of the 9 i7i sizes. Stepping up to the i7i.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $138 more a month.
