Analysis
The x8aedz.xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x8aedz series with 4 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory on AMD EPYC 9R05 (up to Up to 5 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 32 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Within the same generation and size, the x8g.xlarge on AWS Graviton4 costs $0.3908/hour, 66% less ($555 a month), though switching means rebuilding software for arm64. The other variants are the x8i.xlarge at $0.4377.
Running it in Oregon instead of Tokyo saves $378 a month per instance: $1.15/hour against $1.67/hour, a 45% spread. It is not offered in N. Virginia, Ohio, Canada Central, São Paulo, London, Frankfurt, Singapore and Sydney, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 99% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.2877 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the local NVMe disk. On demand it is $1.15/hour in its cheapest tracked region, or $840 for a 730-hour month.
Looking beyond its own line, 2 of 3 current types with 4 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the x2iedn.xlarge on Intel Xeon Scalable (Icelake) at $0.8336/hour.
