AWS Billing Model

AWS provide 3 Billing Model :

On-Demand : is the default AWS billing model. You pay for what you consume. $per hour, $per GB transfered, $ per GB month stored.

On-Demand ideally suited for the ad-hoc usage, where you cant calculate future usage patterns and not ready for interruption or failure.

It provides small discounts on high volume but generally most expensive billing model.


Reserved : this model provides significant reductions in cost & capacity reservations in exchange for commiting to a 12 or 36 month term.

You can pay All Upfront , Partial Upfront or No Upfront - with Full Upfront providing the best cost advantages.

Reservations can be ised for EC2 instances , RDS instances, DynamoDB performance and many other services in AWS.

Reserved terms are useful when your usage is known and steady-state.

You can reserve in a Region and also inside a AV-Zone. AvZone can also give you reserve capacity.


Spot : this is suited for workload where failure and interruption is acceptable but want lowest price.

Spot pricing can be significantly cheaper than on demand but 100% defendant on spare capacity & price can be higher if capacity is constrained.

Resources you choose to allocate using a spot pricing plan can be terminated with very little notice any workloads need to be tolerant of interruption.

Spot resources have the lowest startup priority vs on-demand and reserved.
