Analysis
The m6idn.4xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6idn 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, 52% less ($480 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.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer general purpose types: 81% of the 354 current types in the family cost less than its $0.0796 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $1.27/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $929 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $524 a month per instance: $1.27/hour against $1.99/hour, a 56% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 29 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.
It has local instance storage (1 x 950 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 50000 Megabit.
