Analysis
The r6idn.xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r6idn series with 4 vCPUs and 32 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.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 costs $0.2016/hour, 48% less ($138 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the r6a.xlarge at $0.2268, the r6gd.xlarge at $0.2304 and the r6i.xlarge at $0.2520.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Sydney saves $63.20 a month per instance: $0.3908/hour against $0.4774/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 $0.3908/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $285 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 45 current types with 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r7g.xlarge on AWS Graviton3 at $0.2142/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 237 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 30000 Megabit.
