Q

Reserved Instance (RI) Reporting

A

visualize your RI data; how much are you actually using vs. spending with an RI

RI is good for long-term, static requirements as you must lock-in for 1 or 3 years in return for a decent discount

Standard RIs: most significant discount (up to 75% off On-Demand) and are best suited for steady-state usage

Convertible RIs: discount (up to 54% off On-Demand) and the capability to change the attributes of the RI as long as the exchange results in the creation of Reserved Instances of equal or greater value. best suited for steady-state usage

Scheduled RIs: available to launch within the time windows you reserve. This option allows you to match your capacity reservation to a predictable recurring schedule that only requires a fraction of a day, a week, or a month
