Pay less when you reserve Invest in Reserved Instances (RIs): Save up to 75 percent Options: EC2 instance All Upfront Reserved Instance (AURI)  largest discount Partial Upfront On NURI PURI AURI Reserved Instance Demand (PURI)  lower discounts No Upfront Payments Reserved Instance (NURI)  smaller discount © 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates.

Tiered pricing for services like Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)  the more you use, the less you pay per GB. Multiple storage services deliver lower storage costs based on needs. © 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights r 9 eserved. Pay even less as AWS grows As AWS grows: AWS focuses on lowering cost of doing business. This practice results in AWS passing savings from economies of scale to you.
