USE CASE 1:
OPTIMIZING YOUR
DISCOUNTS
• We know we can save with RIs, BUT:
• We have underutilized instances that I need to downsize
• We are moving to Docker and that will change what I need
• We have dev instances that are changing all the time
• We need to re-architect that system
• We may need to change our instance families
• There may be new instance types coming
• …and more

* Data from real (anonymous) customer use cases
90%** coverage of steady-state for Convertible RIs
Example: Reserved Instances AWS
*65% coverage provides for flexibility to change VM families and sizes used over time.
65%* coverage of steady-state for Standard RIs
**Ability to change VM families and sizes enables higher coverage.
Example: Google Pricing
*Ability to automatically change VM families and sizes enables higher coverage.
*90% Committed Use Discount coverage of steady-state
