Analysis
The i8ge.xlarge is a storage optimized instance in the i8ge series with 4 vCPUs and 32 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.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.3432/hour, 28% less ($95.92 a month).
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $68.99 a month per instance: $0.4746/hour against $0.5691/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 $0.4746/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $346 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 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.2016/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 2500 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
It is size 2 of 9 in the i8ge series. Stepping up to the i8ge.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB for $346 more a month. Dropping to the i8ge.large saves $173 a month.
