Analysis
The i8ge.2xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i8ge series with 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.7 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the i8g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.6864/hour, 28% less ($192 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $138 a month per instance: $0.9492/hour against $1.14/hour, a 20% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $0.9492/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $693 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 71st percentile per vCPU ($0.1187 per vCPU-hour) and the 64th percentile per GiB ($0.0148 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 41 of 45 current types with 8 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.4032/hour.
It has local instance storage (2 x 2500 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
It is size 3 of 9 in the i8ge series. Stepping up to the i8ge.3xlarge gives 12 vCPUs and 96 GiB for $346 more a month. Dropping to the i8ge.xlarge saves $346 a month.
