Analysis
The m8gd.48xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8gd series with 192 vCPUs and 768 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $8.62/hour, 22% less ($1,791 a month). The other variants are the m8i.48xlarge at $10.16, the m8a.48xlarge at $11.69 and the m8id.48xlarge at $12.53.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $7,500 a month per instance: $7.36/hour against $17.64/hour, a 140% spread.
The newer m9gd.48xlarge on AWS Graviton5 is 9.0% dearer at $12.07/hour.
It has local instance storage (6 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 50 Gigabit.
On demand it costs $11.07/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $8,082 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, 7 of 18 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the hpc7a.96xlarge on AMD EPYC 9R14 at $7.20/hour.
It is the largest of the 10 m8gd sizes. Dropping to the m8gd.24xlarge saves $4,041 a month.
