Analysis
The m8id.96xlarge is a general purpose instance in the m8id series with 384 vCPUs and 1536 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the m8i.96xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) costs $20.32/hour, 19% less ($3,459 a month). The other variants are the m8ib.96xlarge at $32.08, the m8in.96xlarge at $32.08 and the m8idn.96xlarge at $36.66.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $5,341 a month per instance: $25.06/hour against $32.38/hour, a 29% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $25.06/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $18,294 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for general purpose types at the 68th percentile per vCPU ($0.0653 per vCPU-hour) and the 68th percentile per GiB ($0.0163 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (6 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 100000 Megabit.
It is the largest of the 11 m8id sizes. Dropping to the m8id.48xlarge saves $9,147 a month.
Windows Server roughly adds 70% to the bill at $42.72/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
