Analysis
The m8azn.xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8azn series with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 9575F (up to Up to 5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m8g.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.1795/hour, 57% less ($170 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the m8i-flex.xlarge at $0.2011, the m8i.xlarge at $0.2117 and the m8gd.xlarge at $0.2306.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $87.94 a month per instance: $0.4129/hour against $0.5334/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 $0.4129/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $301 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 39 of 42 current types with 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.1344/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
