Analysis
The t4g.2xlarge is a general purpose instance in the t4g series with 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory on AWS Graviton2 (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it balanced at 4 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in Mumbai instead of São Paulo saves $182 a month per instance: $0.1792/hour against $0.4288/hour, a 139% spread.
Nothing else with 8 vCPUs and similar memory is cheaper: among 42 current same-shape types it has the lowest on-demand price.
At $0.2688/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $196 a month, the t4g.2xlarge is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 6% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.0336.
It is the largest of the 7 t4g sizes. Dropping to the t4g.xlarge saves $98.11 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.00210 to $0.0336 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $0.1686/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $0.1161/hour, 57% below on demand.
Storage is EBS only. Network: Up to 5 Gigabit.
