Analysis
The r5dn.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r5dn series with 96 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8259 (Cascade Lake) (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, 32% less ($1,892 a month). The other variants are the r5.24xlarge at $6.05, the r5ad.24xlarge at $6.29 and the r5d.24xlarge at $6.91.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $1,296 a month per instance: $8.02/hour against $9.79/hour, a 22% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London and Mumbai, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $8.02/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $5,852 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 57th percentile per vCPU ($0.0835 per vCPU-hour) and the 73rd percentile per GiB ($0.0104 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (4 x 900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 100 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 19 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.
