Analysis
The m6idn.large is a general purpose instance in the m6idn series with 2 vCPUs and 8 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.large on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.0770/hour, 52% less ($59.95 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.large at $0.0864, the m6gd.large at $0.0904 and the m6i.large at $0.0960.
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 $0.1591/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $116 for a 730-hour month.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $65.54 a month per instance: $0.1591/hour against $0.2489/hour, a 56% spread.
Looking beyond its own line, 32 of 41 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.large on AWS Graviton2 at $0.0672/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
