In October 2017, AWS announced the allowance to subdivide the instances purchased for more flexibility Spot instances Ĭloud providers maintain large amounts of excess capacity they have to sell or risk incurring losses. In September 2016, AWS announced several enhancements to Reserved instances, introducing a new feature called scope and a new reservation type called a Convertible. The different purchase options allow for different structuring of payment models. Reserved instances can be purchased in three different ways: All Upfront, Partial Upfront and No Upfront. The corresponding hourly rate charged by Amazon to operate the instance is 35-75% lower than the rate charged for on-demand instances. Reserved instances enable EC2 or RDS service users to reserve an instance for one or three years. Unused credits cannot be carried over from one month to the next.

The credits are designed to run a "micro" sized server, storage (EBS), and bandwidth for one year.

The data transfer charge ranges from free to $0.12 per gigabyte, depending on the direction and monthly volume (inbound data transfer is free on all AWS services ).Īs of December 2010 Amazon offered a bundle of free resource credits to new account holders. "Reserved" instances can go as low as $2.50/month for a three-year prepaid plan. Storage-optimized instances cost as much as $4.992/hour (i3.16xlarge).
