20. Pricing Options

21. 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.

22. 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.
