Analysis
The m5d.large is a general purpose instance in the m5d series with 2 vCPUs and 8 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.large on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $0.0860/hour, 24% less ($19.71 a month). The other variants are the m5.large at $0.0960, the m5ad.large at $0.1030 and the m5n.large at $0.1190.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $48.91 a month per instance: $0.1130/hour against $0.1800/hour, a 59% spread.
It has local instance storage (1 x 75 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $0.1130/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $82.49 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, 20 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.
