AWS Discount Prices
AWS (and, in turn, Pump) offers multiple ways to save on cloud costs based on your usage patterns. Here’s how you can maximize savings while keeping flexibility:
1. Savings Plans (SPs) – Flexible & High Savings
Savings Plans provide automatic discounts on AWS compute services (EC2, Fargate, Lambda, SageMaker) when you commit to a consistent amount of usage for 1 or 3 years.
Best for: Businesses that want savings without locking into specific instance types.
Flexibility: Applies across instance types, regions, and operating systems.
2. Reserved Instances (RIs) – Maximize Savings for Predictable Workloads
Reserved Instances offer the biggest discounts when you commit to using a specific AWS instance type for a set period.
Best for: Businesses with predictable workloads that need the same resources over time.
3. Volume Discounts – Pay Less as You Use More
For services like S3, CloudFront, and DynamoDB, AWS offers tiered pricing, meaning the more you use, the lower your cost per unit. If you join Pump's group org, these volume discounts will automatically be applied.
