ReservedVsOnDemand
Reserved/committed-use pricing vs pay-as-you-go — the trade-off between discount and flexibility.
Why we need this / what value this brings
Reserved/committed pricing can cut cost significantly, but only pays off if usage is predictable enough to commit to.
When to use this
Once load is steady and predictable enough to forecast — committing early on unpredictable, pre-PMF load risks paying for unused capacity.
How to use or implement this
Compare actual sustained usage against on-demand cost over a few months before committing to a reserved term.
Research questions
- Relevant mainly at steady, predictable load — premature for Localz pre-PMF, but AWS SAA-C03 exam-relevant.
