Analysis
The m5d.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m5d 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, 24% less ($158 a month). The other variants are the m5.4xlarge at $0.7680, the m5ad.4xlarge at $0.8240 and the m5n.4xlarge at $0.9520.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $391 a month per instance: $0.9040/hour against $1.44/hour, a 59% spread.
It has local instance storage (2 x 300 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $0.9040/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $660 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 49th percentile per vCPU ($0.0565 per vCPU-hour) and the 49th percentile per GiB ($0.0141 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 16 of 37 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.6160/hour.
It is size 4 of 8 in the m5d series. Stepping up to the m5d.8xlarge gives 32 vCPUs and 128 GiB for $660 more a month. Dropping to the m5d.2xlarge saves $330 a month.
