Analysis
The im4gn.large is a storage optimized instance in the im4gn series with 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton2 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $26.38 a month per instance: $0.1819/hour against $0.2180/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, 36 of 41 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.large on AWS Graviton2 at $0.0672/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
On demand it costs $0.1819/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $133 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for storage optimized types at the 44th percentile per vCPU ($0.0910 per vCPU-hour) and the 86th percentile per GiB ($0.0227 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 937 GB SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25 Gigabit.
It is the smallest of the 6 im4gn sizes. Stepping up to the im4gn.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB for $133 more a month.
