Which AWS pricing option allows you to save the most on long-term workloads by committing to a specific amount of compute usage (measured in $/hour) for a one- or three-year term?
Savings Plans provide significant cost savings for long-term workloads. By committing to a consistent amount of compute usage (in $/hour) for a one- or three-year term, you can automatically receive discounted rates-up to 72 %-across Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, and AWS Lambda. On-Demand Instances require no commitment and have the highest price per unit. Spot Instances offer steep discounts but prices fluctuate and availability is not guaranteed. Reserved Instances also offer up to 72 % savings, but the commitment is to specific instance attributes rather than an hourly spend and does not extend to Fargate or Lambda, so they provide less flexibility than Savings Plans.
