Analysis
The r8gd.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r8gd series with 96 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton4 (up to 2.7 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the r8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $5.66/hour, 20% less ($1,021 a month). The other variants are the r8i.24xlarge at $6.67, the r8a.24xlarge at $7.67 and the r8id.24xlarge at $7.98.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $4,824 a month per instance: $4.56/hour against $11.17/hour, a 145% spread.
The newer r9gd.24xlarge on AWS Graviton5 is 9.0% dearer at $7.69/hour.
On demand it costs $7.05/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $5,149 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 37th percentile per vCPU ($0.0735 per vCPU-hour) and the 53rd percentile per GiB ($0.00919 per GiB-hour).
It has local instance storage (3 x 1900 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40 Gigabit.
Looking beyond its own line, 10 of 35 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r5a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7571 at $5.42/hour.
It is size 9 of 10 in the r8gd series. Stepping up to the r8gd.48xlarge gives 192 vCPUs and 1536 GiB for $5,149 more a month. Dropping to the r8gd.16xlarge saves $1,716 a month.
