Analysis
The r7iz.large is a memory optimized instance in the r7iz series with 2 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Sapphire Rapids) (up to 3.9 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, 42% less ($57.60 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the r7i.large at $0.1323, the r7gd.large at $0.1361 and the r7a.large at $0.1522.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $29.93 a month per instance: $0.1860/hour against $0.2270/hour, a 22% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $0.1860/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $136 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 68th percentile per vCPU ($0.0930 per vCPU-hour) and the 84th percentile per GiB ($0.0116 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 32 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.
It is the smallest of the 8 r7iz sizes. Stepping up to the r7iz.xlarge gives 4 vCPUs and 32 GiB for $136 more a month.
