Analysis
The m4.10xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m4 series with 40 vCPUs and 160 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell) (up to 2.4 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $861 a month per instance: $2.00/hour against $3.18/hour, a 59% spread.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $1.24/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 62% of the time; three years brings it to $0.8640/hour, 57% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $3.84/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
On demand it costs $2.00/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $1,460 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 35th percentile per vCPU ($0.0500 per vCPU-hour) and the 35th percentile per GiB ($0.0125 per GiB-hour).
It is size 5 of 6 in the m4 series. Stepping up to the m4.16xlarge gives 64 vCPUs and 256 GiB for $876 more a month. Dropping to the m4.4xlarge saves $876 a month.
Storage is EBS only. Network: 10 Gigabit.
