Analysis
The r5d.large is a memory optimized instance in the r5d series with 2 vCPUs and 16 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.large on AMD EPYC 7571 costs $0.1130/hour, 22% less ($22.63 a month). The other variants are the r5.large at $0.1260, the r5ad.large at $0.1310 and the r5b.large at $0.1490.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $61.32 a month per instance: $0.1440/hour against $0.2280/hour, a 58% spread.
On demand it costs $0.1440/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $105 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 (1 x 75 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 15 of 44 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.large on AWS Graviton2 at $0.1008/hour.
It is the smallest of the 8 r5d sizes. Stepping up to the r5d.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $105 more a month.
