Analysis
The m8azn.3xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8azn series with 12 vCPUs and 48 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 9575F (up to Up to 5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $264 a month per instance: $1.24/hour against $1.60/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer general purpose types: 97% of the 354 current types in the family cost less than its $0.1032 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for a newer processor or a specialised configuration. On demand it is $1.24/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $904 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 1 of 2 current types with 12 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the m5zn.3xlarge on Intel Xeon Platinum 8252 at $0.9910/hour.
It is size 4 of 7 in the m8azn series. Stepping up to the m8azn.6xlarge gives 24 vCPUs and 96 GiB for $904 more a month. Dropping to the m8azn.xlarge saves $603 a month.
