Analysis
The m7gd.xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m7gd series with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m7g.xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.1632/hour, 24% less ($36.79 a month). The other variants are the m7i-flex.xlarge at $0.1915, the m7i.xlarge at $0.2016 and the m7a.xlarge at $0.2318.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $145 a month per instance: $0.1420/hour against $0.3402/hour, a 140% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the m6gd.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($23.94 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer m8gd.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $0.2306/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 237 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
On demand it costs $0.2136/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $156 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 47th percentile per vCPU ($0.0534 per vCPU-hour) and the 47th percentile per GiB ($0.0134 per GiB-hour).
