Analysis
The r7gd.medium is a memory optimized instance in the r7gd series with 1 vCPU and 8 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.medium on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.0536/hour, 21% less ($10.51 a month). The other variants are the r7a.medium at $0.0761.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $46.50 a month per instance: $0.0440/hour against $0.1077/hour, a 145% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the r6gd.medium on AWS Graviton2 ($7.59 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer r8gd.medium on AWS Graviton4 is 8.1% dearer at $0.0735/hour.
On demand it costs $0.0680/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $49.64 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 28th 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 59 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 5 of 13 current types with 1 vCPU and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.medium on AWS Graviton2 at $0.0504/hour.
