Whoops, sounds like bitter (but still good) news for companies like ours that have million-dollar contracts of reserved instances. If we were to grab our reserved instances right now instead of a few months ago, we'd have saved more than half a million over the next year. Bleh.
- wmf 13y agoThere are a bunch of calculators to compare reserved vs. on demand pricing, but it just occurred to me that they should really be comparing reserved vs. predicted on demand pricing, taking into account inevitable future price drops. Instead of locking in savings, reserved instances are really locking in today's high prices.
