Analysis
The m5ad.24xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m5ad series with 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 7571 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $4.13/hour, 17% less ($596 a month). The other variants are the m5.24xlarge at $4.61, the m5d.24xlarge at $5.42 and the m5n.24xlarge at $5.71.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $3,430 a month per instance: $3.22/hour against $7.92/hour, a 146% spread.
On demand it costs $4.94/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,609 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 41st percentile per vCPU ($0.0515 per vCPU-hour) and the 41st percentile per GiB ($0.0129 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (4 x 900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 20 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 8 of 28 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $2.88/hour.
It is the largest of the 8 m5ad sizes. Dropping to the m5ad.16xlarge saves $1,203 a month.
