Analysis
The m6id.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6id 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, 35% less ($243 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 m6i.4xlarge at $0.7680.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $411 a month per instance: $0.9492/hour against $1.51/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.9492/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $693 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 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 20 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.
