Analysis
The i8ge.48xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i8ge series with 192 vCPUs and 1536 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $16.47/hour, 28% less ($4,604 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $3,311 a month per instance: $22.78/hour against $27.32/hour, a 20% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Looking beyond its own line, 18 of 20 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $10.89/hour.
On demand it costs $22.78/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $16,630 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 66th percentile per vCPU ($0.1187 per vCPU-hour) and the 59th percentile per GiB ($0.0148 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (16 x 7500 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 300 Gigabit.
It is the largest of the 9 i8ge sizes. Dropping to the i8ge.24xlarge saves $8,315 a month.
