Analysis
The m6idn.8xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6idn series with 32 vCPUs and 128 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.8xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $1.23/hour, 52% less ($959 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.8xlarge at $1.38, the m6gd.8xlarge at $1.45 and the m6i.8xlarge at $1.54.
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 $2.55/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $1,859 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $1,049 a month per instance: $2.55/hour against $3.98/hour, a 56% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 29 of 37 current types with 32 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m7g.8xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $1.31/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 50000 Megabit.
