Analysis
The z1d.2xlarge is a memory optimized instance in the z1d series with 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory on Intel Xeon Platinum 8151 (up to 4 GHz), which makes it memory-heavy at 8 GiB of memory per vCPU.
Running it in N. Virginia instead of Tokyo saves $120 a month per instance: $0.7440/hour against $0.9080/hour, a 22% spread. It is not offered in Canada Central and São Paulo, so plan around that if you need a presence there.
On demand it costs $0.7440/hour in US East (N. Virginia), $543 a month if left running, which puts it mid-table for memory optimized types at the 68th percentile per vCPU ($0.0930 per vCPU-hour) and the 84th percentile per GiB ($0.0116 per GiB-hour).
Looking beyond its own line, 32 of 45 current types with 8 vCPUs and similar memory are cheaper. The cheapest of those is the r6g.2xlarge on AWS Graviton2 at $0.4032/hour.
It has local instance storage (1 x 300 GB NVMe SSD), which is fast but lost when the instance stops. Network: Up to 10 Gigabit.
It is size 3 of 6 in the z1d series. Stepping up to the z1d.3xlarge gives 12 vCPUs and 96 GiB for $272 more a month. Dropping to the z1d.xlarge saves $272 a month.
