Analysis
The r5d.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r5d 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, 22% less ($1,086 a month). The other variants are the r5.24xlarge at $6.05, the r5ad.24xlarge at $6.29 and the r5n.24xlarge at $7.15.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $2,943 a month per instance: $6.91/hour against $10.94/hour, a 58% spread.
On demand it costs $6.91/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $5,046 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 34th percentile per vCPU ($0.0720 per vCPU-hour) and the 50th percentile per GiB ($0.00900 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (4 x 900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 25 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 9 of 35 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $5.44/hour.
It is the largest of the 8 r5d sizes. Dropping to the r5d.16xlarge saves $1,682 a month.
