How are AWS service fees calculated? How are costs estimated? How can I optimize service fees? Don’t worry, Microfusion will handle it for you! Microfusion provides real-time consulting and helps with calculations to assist enterprises with successfully utilizing Amazon Web Services.
The biggest difference and advantage of AWS compared to other cloud services is “pay-as-you-go”. AWS only requires payment for the time used in individual services without requiring the signing of long-term contracts or complex licensing. No additional stoppage fees are charged when services are halted. As such, enterprises evaluating the implementation of AWS can accurately estimate their service fees and adopt the most suitable and economically priced plan.
AWS has 3 major billing methods, whether it’s the execution of individual series (individual execution of cloud computing), memory size (memory size of individual cloud computing), availability zones (the availability zones where EC2 is located), region (the region where EC2 is located), operating systems, or leases. Discounts are available for 1-year/3-year commitments to the usage of specific services. The following are detailed calculations of AWS service fees:
| Billing concept | Pay-as-you-go | Save when you commit | Pay less by using more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billing methods and applicable services | Compute Savings Plans： Reduce costs by up to 66% for Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate, automatically execute these plans for the individual usage volume of EC2. EC2 Instance Savings Plans： Applicable to EC2 usage and offers the lowest price to reduce costs by up to 72%. SageMaker Savings Plans： Reduce costs by up to 64%, automatically implement to eligible SageMaker ML and their individual usage. *Multiple savings plans can be used in tandem | Reduce usage costs by up to 75% by utilizing commited capacity to minimize enterprise risk Commonly used in specific services such as Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Discount rate from highest to lowest: ．All Upfront Reserved Instance (AURI) ．Partial Upfront Reserved Instance (PURI) ．No Upfront Reserved Instance (NURI) | Pay-as-you-go. No minimum billing amount. The tiered system adopted by S3 storage services or outgoing EC2 data means the more you use, the less you pay per GB All incoming data is free |
