Yes, I feel like an idiot now for just buying a bunch of reserved instances. By my calculations if you just bought a reserved instance you'd actually save money by rebuying it if you plan to run it heavily over the three year period!
- cperciva 15y agoI've been holding off on buying reserved instances because it looked like they were overdue for a price cut. Even now I'm not sure if I should go ahead and buy -- sure, I'd save money compared to the current on-demand instance prices, but is the 2012 reserved pricing cheaper than the 2014 on-demand pricing will be? I really hope Amazon adds more transparency into the pricing so I can stop worrying about things like this.
