Analysis
The r6idn.large is a memory optimized instance in the r6idn series with 2 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) (up to 3.5 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the r6g.large on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.1008/hour, 48% less ($69.05 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the r6a.large at $0.1134, the r6gd.large at $0.1152 and the r6i.large at $0.1260.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $31.60 a month per instance: $0.1954/hour against $0.2387/hour, a 22% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo, London and Mumbai, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $0.1954/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $143 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 72nd percentile per vCPU ($0.0977 per vCPU-hour) and the 88th percentile per GiB ($0.0122 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 35 of 44 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r7g.large on AWS Graviton3 at $0.1071/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 118 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 25000 Megabit.
