Analysis
The r6in.large is a memory optimized instance in the r6in 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, 42% less ($53.68 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 $27.33 a month per instance: $0.1743/hour against $0.2118/hour, a 21% 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 $0.1743/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $127 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 61st percentile per vCPU ($0.0872 per vCPU-hour) and the 76th percentile per GiB ($0.0109 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 29 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 is the smallest of the 9 r6in sizes. Stepping up to the r6in.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $127 more a month.
