Pricing Options

Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances:

• Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances allow you to reserve Amazon

EC2 computing capacity for 1 or 3 years, in exchange for a

significant discount (up to 75%) compared to On-Demand instance

pricing.

• Reserved Instances can significantly lower your computing costs for

your workloads and provide a capacity reservation so that you can

have confidence in your ability to launch the number of instances

you have reserved when you need them.

Why Should I Use Reserved Instances?

• Cost Effective

• Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount (up to 75%)

compared to On-Demand instance pricing.

• Reliable

• Reserved Instances provide a capacity reservation so that you can have

confidence in your ability to launch the number of instances you have

reserved when you need them.

• Flexible

• You have the flexibility to pay all, part, or nothing upfront. The more you pay

up front, the more you save. If your requirements change, you can modify or

sell your Reserved Instance.
