Analysis
The i8ge.large is a storage optimized instance in the i8ge series with 2 vCPUs and 16 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.large on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.1716/hour, 28% less ($47.96 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $34.53 a month per instance: $0.2373/hour against $0.2846/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 $0.2373/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $173 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 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 1250 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
It is the smallest of the 9 i8ge sizes. Stepping up to the i8ge.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $173 more a month.
