Description

If we make use of reserved instances in AWS we can end up saving up to 50% of infra costs.

We should:

  • Make an inventory of all instances we currently have and document which ones we expect to have for the forseable future
  • Make a list of which ones we are comfortable with reserving for some amount of time
  • Understand what happens if we decide we actually needed bigger ones and how the convertible vs reserved thing works
