How Metaphor Can Help You Optimize Costs with AWS Savings Plans
Unlocking Cost Efficiency with AWS
At Metaphor, we understand that navigating the cloud can be complex, especially when it comes to managing costs. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a powerful solution to this through their Savings Plans, a flexible pricing model that provides significant savings compared to on-demand pricing. As your trusted partner, we're here to help you decipher which Savings Plan best aligns with your business needs, ensuring cost optimization and efficiency.
Understanding AWS Savings Plans
AWS Savings Plans offer lower prices in exchange for a specific usage commitment (measured in $/hour) over a one or three-year period. These plans come in three types:
- Compute Savings Plans: Offer up to 66% savings and apply to Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate usage. They provide flexibility across instance family, size, region, OS, or tenancy.
- EC2 Instance Savings Plans: Provide the deepest discounts, up to 72%, for using specific EC2 instance families in a particular region. These plans offer cost savings on a consistent instance family without regard to the availability zone, instance size, OS, or tenancy.
- Amazon SageMaker Savings Plans: Offer up to 64% savings, focusing on SageMaker usage for machine learning applications. These plans apply to various SageMaker services, allowing flexibility across different instance types and regions.
