Analysis
The m6id.2xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6id series with 8 vCPUs and 32 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.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.3080/hour, 35% less ($122 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.2xlarge at $0.3456, the m6gd.2xlarge at $0.3616 and the m6i.2xlarge at $0.3840.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $205 a month per instance: $0.4746/hour against $0.7560/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.4746/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $346 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 57th percentile per vCPU ($0.0593 per vCPU-hour) and the 57th percentile per GiB ($0.0148 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 474 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 24 of 42 current types with 8 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.2688/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
