Analysis
The i7ie.12xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i7ie series with 48 vCPUs and 384 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.
Within the same generation and size, the i7i.12xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Emerald Rapids) costs $4.53/hour, 27% less ($1,246 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $2,700 a month per instance: $6.24/hour against $9.94/hour, a 59% spread.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer storage optimized types: 79% of the 90 current types in the family cost less than its $0.1299 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $6.24/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $4,553 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 39 of 40 current types with 48 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.12xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $2.42/hour.
It has local instance storage (4 x 7500 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 50 Gigabit.
It is size 6 of 9 in the i7ie series. Stepping up to the i7ie.18xlarge gives 72 vCPUs and 576 GiB for $2,277 more a month. Dropping to the i7ie.6xlarge saves $2,277 a month.
