Analysis
The r7gd.2xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r7gd series with 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton3 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the r7g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.4284/hour, 21% less ($84.61 a month). The other variants are the r7i.2xlarge at $0.5292, the r7a.2xlarge at $0.6086 and the r7iz.2xlarge at $0.7440.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $372 a month per instance: $0.3520/hour against $0.8618/hour, a 145% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the r6gd.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($60.96 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer r8gd.2xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $0.5878/hour.
On demand it costs $0.5443/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $397 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 29th percentile per vCPU ($0.0680 per vCPU-hour) and the 41st percentile per GiB ($0.00850 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 475 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 15 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 45 current types with 8 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.4032/hour.
