Analysis
The x8i.96xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the x8i series with 384 vCPUs and 6144 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Scalable (Granite Rapids) (up to 3.9 GHz), which makes it very memory-heavy at 16 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of São Paulo saves $21,157 a month per instance: $48.74/hour against $77.73/hour, a 59% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central and London, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
Per vCPU it is one of the dearer memory optimized types: 92% of the 385 current types in the family cost less than its $0.1269 per vCPU-hour. The premium mostly pays for the very fast networking. On demand it is $48.74/hour in US East (N. Virginia), or $35,583 for a 730-hour month.
It is the largest of the 12 x8i sizes. Dropping to the x8i.64xlarge saves $15,136 a month. Unit price is not flat across the series ($0.1094 to $0.1269 per vCPU-hour), so the size changes the rate you pay.
Windows Server roughly adds 36% to the bill at $66.41/hour, because the licence is charged per vCPU.
Storage is EBS only. Network: 100000 Megabit.
