Episode 98: AWS Pricing Models Overview

from Certified - AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Audio Course Hosted by Jason Edwards

In this episode, we explore the different pricing models available for AWS services, helping you understand how to optimize costs while using AWS resources. AWS offers several pricing models to cater to various needs, including On-Demand, Reserved, and Spot Instances, as well as Savings Plans. We’ll walk you through each of these models, starting with On-Demand Instances, which allow you to pay for compute capacity by the hour or second, without committing to a long-term contract. On-Demand is ideal for workloads that are unpredictable or short-term but can be more expensive compared to other options. Next, we’ll dive into Reserved Instances, which provide a significant discount for committing to use EC2 instances for one- or three-year terms. Reserved Instances are ideal for steady-state workloads and can help you save on costs by planning your usage. Additionally, we’ll cover Spot Instances, which allow you to bid for unused EC2 capacity at a fraction of the cost, but with the risk of being interrupted. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to choose the right pricing model based on your workloads to balance performance and cost.
