Analysis
The m6g.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6g series with 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton2, which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $419 a month per instance: $0.4048/hour against $0.9792/hour, a 142% spread.
Nothing else with 16 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 37 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
At $0.6160/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $450 a month, the m6g.4xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 9% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0385.
It is the cheapest of the 5 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The m6id.4xlarge on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) costs 54% more, and the m6a.4xlarge, the m6gd.4xlarge and the m6i.4xlarge also sit above it.
The newer m7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 is 6.0% dearer at $0.6528/hour.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.3864/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $0.2678/hour, 57% below on demand.
