I believe you have the wrong disk size for AWS cc2.8xlarge. It says 1.65 TB but according to AWS it is 3.28 TB. I am assuming the disk corresponds to instance storage not EBS. It also seems strange that disk GB per $ seem to go down as you go from 1 year light to 1 year heavy on AWS. Shouldn't it be the opposite?
Awesome calculator BTW! I really needed something like this.
- snewman 13y agoGood catch on the cc2.8xlarge disk -- thanks! As for the GB/$: by default we display prices assuming you'll use the server 24 hours a day for one month. That means that if you take a reservation, you'll be reselling it a month later. It turns out that a 1-year light reservation is best here (assuming you can resell for the full pro-rated value): with a heavy reservation Amazon's 10% cut on the resale is too expensive, whereas with no reservation the hourly rate kills you.
