Analysis
The m6gd.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6gd series with 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton2 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $488 a month per instance: $0.4832/hour against $1.15/hour, a 138% spread.
Within the same generation and size, the m6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.6160/hour, 15% less ($78.26 a month). The other variants are the m6a.4xlarge at $0.6912, the m6i.4xlarge at $0.7680 and the m6id.4xlarge at $0.9492.
The newer m7gd.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 is 18% dearer at $0.8543/hour.
At $0.7232/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $528 a month, the m6gd.4xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 22% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0452.
It has local instance storage (1 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 5 of 37 current types with 16 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m7g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.6528/hour.
