On-Demand Instances
On-Demand Instances let you pay for compute capacity by the hour with no
long-term commitments. This frees you from the costs and complexities of
planning, purchasing, and maintaining hardware and transforms what are
commonly large fixed costs into much smaller variable costs.

The pricing below includes the cost to run private and public AMIs on the
specified operating system (“Windows Usage” prices apply to Windows
Server® 2003 R2, 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012). Amazon also provides you with
additional instances for Amazon EC2 running Microsoft Windows with SQL
Server, Amazon EC2 running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Amazon EC2
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Amazon EC2 running IBM that are
priced differently.

Reserved Instances
Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount (up to 75%)
compared to On-Demand Instance pricing. In addition, Reserved Instances
provide you with a capacity reservation, so you can have confidence that you
will be able to launch the instances you have reserved when you need them.

You can choose between three payment options when you purchase a
Reserved Instance. With the All Upfront option, you pay for the entire
Reserved Instance with one upfront payment. This option provides you with
the largest discount compared to On-Demand Instance pricing. With the
Partial Upfront option, you make a low upfront payment and are then
charged a discounted hourly rate for the instance for the duration of the
Reserved Instance term. The No Upfront option does not require any upfront
payment and provides a discounted hourly rate for the duration of the term.

If your needs change after you have purchased a Reserved Instance, you can
request to move your Reserved Instance to another Availability Zone within
the same region, change its Network Platform or, for Linux/UNIX RIs, modify
the instance type of your reservation to another type in the same instance
family, at no additional cost.

*This is the average monthly payment over the course of the RI term. For
each month, the actual monthly payment will equal the actual number of
hours in that month multiplied by the hourly usage rate. The hourly usage rate
is equivalent to the total average monthly payments over the term of the RI
divided by the total number of hours (based on a 365 day year) over the term
of the RI.

**Effective hourly pricing is shown to help you calculate the amount of money
that a Reserved Instance will save you over On-Demand pricing. When you
purchase a Reserved Instance, you are billed for every hour during the entire
Reserved Instance term that you select, regardless of whether the instance is
running or not. The effective hourly price shows the amortized hourly cost of
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ 24/37
16/12/2014 AWS | Amazon EC2 | Pricing

the instance (this takes the total cost of the Reserved Instance over the entire
term, including any upfront payment, and spreads it out over each hour of the
Reserved Instance term).

On February 2nd 2015, Light and Medium Utilization Reserved Instances will
no longer be available for purchase. To view more information on these
offerings, visit this page.

Reserved Instance Volume Discounts

On December 2nd, 2014, your volume discount for new RI purchases will be
based on the total list value of your Reserved Instances in your account
within a region. The total list value of a Reserved Instance is equal to the sum
of upfront and all expected recurring payments within the RI term. If you have
active RIs on December 2nd, 2014, there will be no impact to your volume
discount or position relative to the tiers as a result of this adjustment.

If you purchase a large amount of Reserved Instances in an AWS region, you

will automatically receive discounts on your upfront fees and hourly fees for
future purchases of Reserved Instances in that AWS region. Reserved
Instance Tiers are determined based on the List Value (non-discounted total
price) for the active Reserved Instances you have per AWS region. A
complete list of the Reserved Instance Tiers is shown below:

For example, as soon as you have aggregated active Reserved Instances

http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ 25/37
16/12/2014 AWS | Amazon EC2 | Pricing

with a List Value totaling more than $500,000 in a single AWS region, you will
automatically receive a 5% discount on both upfront and hourly fees for all
future Reserved Instance purchases in that AWS region, and those discounts
will continue to apply to new Reserved Instances as long as you continue to
qualify for the discount tier. For an in-depth example, please visit the EC2
Reserved Instances FAQ.

Please note that Reserved Instance purchases of Windows with SQL Server
are not included in the computation of volume tier discounts. Also, due to the
scale of Microsoft licensing fees, volume tier discounts are not available for
Windows with SQL Server Reserved Instances. Reserved Instance
Marketplace purchases do not qualify for the volume discount but the
prorated remaining list value for these purchases will count towards your
volume discount status.

To learn more about Reserved Instance Tiers, please visit the “Understanding
Reserved Instance Tiers” portion of the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Spot Instances
Spot Instances enable you to bid for unused Amazon EC2 capacity.
Instances are charged the Spot Price, which is set by Amazon EC2 and
fluctuates periodically depending on the supply of and demand for Spot
Instance capacity. To use Spot Instances, you place a Spot Instance request,
specifying the instance type, the Availability Zone desired, the number of
Spot Instances you want to run, and the maximum price you are willing to
pay per instance hour. To determine how that maximum price compares to
past Spot Prices, the Spot Price history is available via the Amazon EC2 API
and the AWS Management Console. If your maximum price bid exceeds the
current Spot Price, your request is fulfilled and your instances will run until
either you choose to terminate them or the Spot Price increases above your
maximum price (whichever is sooner).

Click here to learn more about Spot Instances. For information on how to get
started, click here.

The following table displays the Lowest Spot Price per Region and instance
type (updated every 5 minutes). In addition to Linux/Unix and Windows, we
also offer Spot Instances for Amazon EC2 running SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server.

EBS-Optimized Instances
EBS-optimized instances enable EC2 instances to fully use the IOPS
provisioned on an EBS volume. EBS-optimized instances deliver dedicated
throughput between Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS, with options between
500 and 2,000 Megabits per second (Mbps) depending on the instance type
used. The dedicated throughput minimizes contention between Amazon EBS
I/O and other traffic from your EC2 instance, providing the best performance
for your EBS volumes. EBS-optimized instances are designed for use with
both Standard and Provisioned IOPS Amazon EBS volumes. When attached
to EBS-optimized instances, Provisioned IOPS volumes can achieve single
digit millisecond latencies and are designed to deliver within 10% of the
provisioned IOPS performance 99.9% of the time. Pricing for supported
instance types is listed below.

Provisioned IOPS (SSD) is charged by the amount you provision in IOPS

(input/output operations per second) X the percentage of days you provision
for the month. For example, if you provision a volume with 1000 IOPS, and
keep this volume for 15 days in a 30 day month, then in a Region that
charges $0.10 per provisioned IOPS-month, you would be charged $50 for
the IOPS that you provision ($0.10 per provisioned IOPS-month * 1000 IOPS
provisioned * 15 days/30).

Amazon EBS currently supports up to 4000 IOPS per Provisioned IOPS

(SSD) volume. For a given allocation of resources, the IOPS rate you get from
your Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volume depends on the I/O size of your
applications’ reads and writes. Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes process
your applications’ reads and writes in I/O sizes of 16KB or less. Every
increase in I/O size above 16KB will linearly increase the resources you need
to achieve the same IOPS rate. For example, if you have provisioned a
volume with 2000 IOPS, that means that it can handle 2000 16KB writes per
second, or 1000 32KB writes per second, or 500 64KB writes per second,

http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ 33/37

and so on. You can use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor your throughput and
I/O sizes.

Elastic IP Addresses
You can have one Elastic IP (EIP) address associated with a running instance
at no charge. If you associate additional EIPs with that instance, you will be
charged for each additional EIP associated with that instance per hour on a
pro rata basis. Additional EIPs are only available in Amazon VPC.

To ensure efficient use of Elastic IP addresses, we impose a small hourly

charge when these IP addresses are not associated with a running instance
or when they are associated with a stopped instance or unattached network
interface.
