Analysis
The r7gd.large is a memory optimized instance in the r7gd series with 2 vCPUs and 16 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.large on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.1071/hour, 21% less ($21.17 a month). The other variants are the r7i.large at $0.1323, the r7a.large at $0.1522 and the r7iz.large at $0.1860.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $93.08 a month per instance: $0.0880/hour against $0.2155/hour, a 145% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the r6gd.large on AWS Graviton2 ($15.26 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer r8gd.large on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $0.1470/hour.
On demand it costs $0.1361/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $99.35 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 30th percentile per vCPU ($0.0680 per vCPU-hour) and the 43rd percentile per GiB ($0.00851 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (1 x 118 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 44 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.large on AWS Graviton2 at $0.1008/hour.
