What is Purchasing Options?
Amazon EC2 provides several purchasing options to fit different workload needs. The On-Demand option allows clients to pay for compute capacity per hour with no long-term commitments. Reserved Instances provide a significant discount compared to On-Demand pricing and are ideal for applications required steady state usage. Spot Instances allow clients to bid for unused Amazon EC2 capacity and can provide significant savings if flexibility is possible in starting and stopping times. Dedicated Hosts are physical EC2 servers dedicated to specific clients, suitable for regulatory requirements and licenses which do not support multi-tenant virtualization, and Savings Plans offer reduced rates for committing to a consistent amount of usage for 1 or 3 years.
