Analysis
The r7gd.xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r7gd series with 4 vCPUs and 32 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.xlarge on AWS Graviton3 costs $0.2142/hour, 21% less ($42.34 a month). The other variants are the r7i.xlarge at $0.2646, the r7a.xlarge at $0.3043 and the r7iz.xlarge at $0.3720.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $186 a month per instance: $0.1760/hour against $0.4309/hour, a 145% spread.
Compared with the previous generation, it costs 18% more than the r6gd.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 ($30.51 more a month per instance), in exchange for the newer processor. The newer r8gd.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 is 8.0% dearer at $0.2939/hour.
On demand it costs $0.2722/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $199 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 237 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 12500 Megabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 13 of 45 current types with 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.2016/hour.
