Managing Your Use of Amazon Web Services EC2 Reserved Instances

Sometimes trying to save money can become costly and complicated.

A case in point is the growing popularity of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) EC2 Reserved Instances (RIs) which enable users to obtain spare cloud capacity in anticipation of future use.

While having these extra resources available for a ‘rainy day’ may make operational sense, holding underutilizing spare instances can become needlessly expensive if they aren’t properly managed.

Click here to read my guest blogpost on behalf of Newvem regarding how organizations can maximize the value and mitigate the risks associated with leveraging AWS EC2 RIs.
