Analysis
The t8i.nano is a general purpose instance in the t8i series with 2 vCPUs and 0.5 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 GHz), which makes it very compute-heavy at 0.25 GiB of memory per vCPU.
At $0.00624/hour on demand in US East (N. Virginia), about $4.56 a month, the t8i.nano is one of the cheaper ways to buy general purpose capacity: only 1% of the 354 current general purpose types cost less per vCPU-hour than its $0.00312.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $2.80 a month per instance: $0.00624/hour against $0.0101/hour, a 62% spread.
It is the smallest of the 4 t8i sizes. Stepping up to the t8i.micro gives 2 vCPUs and 1 GiB for $4.56 more a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.00312 to $0.0250 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
Looking beyond its own line, 3 of 4 current types with 2 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the t4g.nano on AWS Graviton2 at $0.00420/hour. It is burstable, so it only suits workloads that do not run the CPU flat out.
Windows Server roughly adds 88% to the bill at $0.0118/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
