Analysis
The r8id.24xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r8id series with 96 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite 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 r8g.24xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $5.66/hour, 29% less ($1,699 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the r8i.24xlarge at $6.67, the r8gd.24xlarge at $7.05 and the r8a.24xlarge at $7.67.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $1,214 a month per instance: $7.98/hour against $9.65/hour, a 21% spread. It is not offered in São Paulo and Singapore, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
It has local instance storage (2 x 2850 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 40000 Megabit.
On demand it costs $7.98/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $5,828 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 54th percentile per vCPU ($0.0832 per vCPU-hour) and the 71st percentile per GiB ($0.0104 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 18 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.
