Analysis
The m7i-flex.large is a general purpose instance in the m7i-flex series with 2 vCPUs and 8 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.large on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.0816/hour, 15% less ($10.34 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m7i.large at $0.1008, the m7gd.large at $0.1068 and the m7a.large at $0.1159.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $41.51 a month per instance: $0.0958/hour against $0.1526/hour, a 59% spread.
At $0.0958/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $69.90 a month, the m7i-flex.large 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 $0.0633/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 66% of the time; three years brings it to $0.0434/hour, 55% below on demand. Windows Server roughly doubles the bill at $0.1832/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
The newer m8i-flex.large on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) is 5.0% dearer at $0.1006/hour.
