Analysis
The m6in.xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m6in series with 4 vCPUs and 16 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.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.1540/hour, 45% less ($90.86 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m6a.xlarge at $0.1728, the m6gd.xlarge at $0.1808 and the m6i.xlarge at $0.1920.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $121 a month per instance: $0.2785/hour against $0.4438/hour, a 59% spread.
On demand it costs $0.2785/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $203 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 73rd percentile per vCPU ($0.0696 per vCPU-hour) and the 73rd percentile per GiB ($0.0174 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 29 of 42 current types with 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.1344/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
It is size 2 of 9 in the m6in series. Stepping up to the m6in.2xlarge gives 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $203 more a month. Dropping to the m6in.large saves $102 a month.
