Analysis
The m7a.medium is a general purpose instance in the m7a series with 1 vCPU and 4 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 9R14 (up to Up to 3.7 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m7g.medium on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.0408/hour, 30% less ($12.53 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m7gd.medium at $0.0534.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $12.34 a month per instance: $0.0580/hour against $0.0749/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, Mumbai and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Looking beyond its own line, 7 of 13 current types with 1 vCPU and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m6g.medium on AWS Graviton2 at $0.0385/hour.
On demand it costs $0.0580/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $42.31 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 54th percentile per vCPU ($0.0580 per vCPU-hour) and the 54th percentile per GiB ($0.0145 per GiB-hour).
The newer m8a.medium on AMD EPYC 9R45 is 5.0% dearer at $0.0609/hour.
It is the smallest of the 11 m7a sizes. Stepping up to the m7a.large gives 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB for $42.31 more a month.
