Analysis
The r5.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r5 series with 96 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8175 (up to 3.1 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the r5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $5.42/hour, 10% less ($456 a month). The other variants are the r5ad.24xlarge at $6.29, the r5d.24xlarge at $6.91 and the r5n.24xlarge at $7.15.
At $6.05/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $4,415 a month, the r5.24xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy memory optimized capacity: only 16% of the 385 current memory optimized types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0630.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $2,628 a month per instance: $6.05/hour against $9.65/hour, a 60% spread.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $3.81/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $2.61/hour, 57% below on demand. Windows Server roughly adds 73% to the bill at $10.46/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
It is the largest of the 8 r5 sizes. Dropping to the r5.16xlarge saves $1,472 a month.
