Analysis
The m6i.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6i series with 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m6g.4xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.6160/hour, 20% less ($111 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.4xlarge at $0.6912, the m6gd.4xlarge at $0.7232 and the m6id.4xlarge at $0.9492.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $333 a month per instance: $0.7680/hour against $1.22/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.7680/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $561 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 29th percentile per vCPU ($0.0480 per vCPU-hour) and the 28th percentile per GiB ($0.0120 per GiB-hour).
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.5080/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $0.3484/hour, 55% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $1.50/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
The newer m7i.4xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) is 5.0% dearer at $0.8064/hour.
