Analysis
The m8gd.24xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8gd series with 96 vCPUs and 384 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.7 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $4.31/hour, 22% less ($896 a month). The other variants are the m8i.24xlarge at $5.08, the m8a.24xlarge at $5.84 and the m8id.24xlarge at $6.26.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $3,750 a month per instance: $3.68/hour against $8.82/hour, a 140% spread.
The newer m9gd.24xlarge on AWS Graviton5 is 9.0% dearer at $6.03/hour.
It has local instance storage (3 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $5.54/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $4,041 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 50th percentile per vCPU ($0.0577 per vCPU-hour) and the 50th percentile per GiB ($0.0144 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 11 of 28 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $2.88/hour.
It is size 9 of 10 in the m8gd series. Stepping up to the m8gd.48xlarge gives 192 vCPUs and 768 GiB for $4,041 more a month. Dropping to the m8gd.16xlarge saves $1,347 a month.
