Analysis
The r8id.48xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the r8id series with 192 vCPUs and 1536 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.48xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $11.31/hour, 29% less ($3,399 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the r8i.48xlarge at $13.34, the r8gd.48xlarge at $14.11 and the r8a.48xlarge at $15.34.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $2,428 a month per instance: $15.97/hour against $19.29/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 (3 x 3800 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: 75000 Megabit.
On demand it costs $15.97/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $11,656 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, 9 of 20 current types with 192 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6a.48xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $10.89/hour.
