Analysis
The vt1.24xlarge is a media accelerator instances instance in the vt1 series with 96 vCPUs and 192 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8259CL (up to 2.5 GHz), which makes it compute-heavy at 2 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $982 a month per instance: $5.20/hour against $6.55/hour, a 26% spread. It is not offered in Ohio, Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Looking beyond its own line, 15 of 22 current types with 96 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the c6a.24xlarge on AMD EPYC 7R13 at $3.67/hour.
On demand it costs $5.20/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $3,796 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for media accelerator instances types at the 50th percentile per vCPU ($0.0542 per vCPU-hour) and the 50th percentile per GiB ($0.0271 per GiB-hour).
Reserving it for a year with no upfront payment cuts the Linux rate to $3.28/hour, which beats on demand once it runs more than 63% of the time; three years brings it to $2.25/hour, 57% below on demand.
It is the largest of the 3 vt1 sizes. Dropping to the vt1.6xlarge saves $2,847 a month.
