Analysis
The m7g.medium is a general purpose instance in the m7g series with 1 vCPU and 4 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $26.13 a month per instance: $0.0292/hour against $0.0650/hour, a 123% spread.
It is the cheapest of the 3 processor variants AWS sells at this size and generation. The m7a.medium on AMD EPYC 9R14 costs 42% more, and the m7gd.medium also sit above it.
At $0.0408/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $29.78 a month, the m7g.medium is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 11% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0408.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 6.0% more than the m6g.medium on AWS Graviton2 ($1.68 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer m8g.medium on AWS Graviton4 is 10% dearer at $0.0449/hour.
It is the smallest of the 8 m7g sizes. Stepping up to the m7g.large gives 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB for $29.78 more a month.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.0270/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $0.0185/hour, 55% below on demand.
