Analysis
The m7i-flex.2xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m7i-flex series with 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m7g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.3264/hour, 15% less ($41.35 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m7i.2xlarge at $0.4032, the m7gd.2xlarge at $0.4271 and the m7a.2xlarge at $0.4637.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $166 a month per instance: $0.3830/hour against $0.6105/hour, a 59% spread.
At $0.3830/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $280 a month, the m7i-flex.2xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 25% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0479.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.2534/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $0.1738/hour, 55% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $0.7326/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
The newer m8i-flex.2xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) is 5.0% dearer at $0.4022/hour.
