Analysis
The i7ie.3xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i7ie series with 12 vCPUs and 96 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 $675 a month per instance: $1.56/hour against $2.48/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 $1.56/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $1,138 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 3 of 4 current types with 12 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the z1d.3xlarge on Intel Xeon Platinum 8151 at $1.12/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 7500 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
It is size 4 of 9 in the i7ie series. Stepping up to the i7ie.6xlarge gives 24 vCPUs and 192 GiB for $1,138 more a month. Dropping to the i7ie.2xlarge saves $379 a month.
