Comment on Simplifying the EC2 Reserved Instance Model

Comments

This is great. I kept telling my developer colleagues that AWS EC2 could get more affordable as we scaled and bought reserved instances.

As a bootstrapped startup paying for a year or three years upfront is quite a bit of a burden, but I think this is great progress and will make that easier on us.

I also like Google Cloud's sustained use discounts because it is automatic. I'm not sure if AWS will ever do that, but since I'm such a huge fan of AWS, I'd love it. [1].
