One key part (mentioned by a comment in the story itself) that wasn't clear to me at first is that you're not purchasing a single reserved instance. The reservation applies to any instance of the type you've reserved. So regardless of specific instances running 24/7, it can still make sense if you generally have a specific instance flavor running all the time.
That makes it a lot more flexible, and a better value in a lot of cases, I think.
- nirvdrum 14y agoJust keep in mind that the reservation is also for a particular availability zone. You need to stay within that zone to get the discounted rate.
