Analysis
The m5.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m5 series with 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8175 (up to 3.1 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m5a.4xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $0.6880/hour, 10% less ($58.40 a month). The other variants are the m5ad.4xlarge at $0.8240, the m5d.4xlarge at $0.9040 and the m5n.4xlarge at $0.9520.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $333 a month per instance: $0.7680/hour against $1.22/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.7680/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $561 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 29th percentile per vCPU ($0.0480 per vCPU-hour) and the 28th percentile per GiB ($0.0120 per GiB-hour).
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.4840/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $0.3320/hour, 57% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $1.50/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
It is 4.0% cheaper than the older m4.4xlarge on Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell), so staying on the previous generation costs more as well as being slower.
