If your capacity requirements are very steady, you could save more than 30% on CPU time with this. At the very least, figure out how many instances you need at 3am and buy that many reservations.
That's what I'll be doing tomorrow.

- gommm 18y agoI always have at least one instance running so it's good for saving money... At this price point it's actually cheaper than a vps at slicehost: 325/12 + 720*.03 = 49$ slicehost for an equivalent instance it's between 70$ and 130$ (but need to count the included bandwidth from slicehost to be more fair)
