Purchasing a reserved node - Amazon Redshift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

Purchasing a reserved node

You can use the Amazon Web Services Management Console or the Amazon CLI to purchase reserved node offerings, and to view current and past reservations.

Amazon Web Services Management Console
To purchase a reserved node

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/redshiftv2/.

  2. On the navigation menu, choose Clusters, then choose Reserved nodes to display the list of reserved nodes.

  3. Choose Purchase reserved nodes to display the page to choose the properties of the node that you want to purchase.

  4. Enter the properties of the node, then choose Purchase reserved nodes.

After you purchase an offering, the Reserved Node list displays your reservations and the details of each one, such as the node type, number of nodes, and status of the reservation. For more information about the reservation details, see How reserved nodes work.

To upgrade a reserved node, use the Amazon CLI.

You can't convert all node types to reserved nodes, and it's also possible that an existing reserved node isn't available for renewal. This might be because the node type is discontinued. Contact customer support to renew a discontinued node type.

Amazon CLI
To upgrade a reserved node reservation with the Amazon CLI

  1. Obtain a list of ReservedNodeOfferingID's for offerings that meet your requirements for payment type, term, and charges. The following example illustrates this step. 

    
aws redshift get-reserved-node-exchange-offerings --reserved-node-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
{
    "ReservedNodeOfferings": [
        {
            "Duration": 31536000,
            "ReservedNodeOfferingId": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy",
            "UsagePrice": 0.0,
            "NodeType": "dc2.large",
            "RecurringCharges": [
                {
                    "RecurringChargeFrequency": "Hourly",
                    "RecurringChargeAmount": 0.2
                }
            ],
            "CurrencyCode": "USD",
            "OfferingType": "No Upfront",
            "ReservedNodeOfferingType": "Regular",
            "FixedPrice": 0.0
        }
    ]
}

  2. Call accept-reserved-node-exchange and provide the ID for the DC1 reserved node that you want to exchange along with the ReservedNodeOfferingID you obtained in the previous step.

    The following example illustrates this step.

    
aws redshift accept-reserved-node-exchange --reserved-node-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx --target-reserved-node-offering-id yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyyy
{
    "ExchangedReservedNode": {
        "UsagePrice": 0.0,
        "OfferingType": "No Upfront",
        "State": "exchanging",
        "FixedPrice": 0.0,
        "CurrencyCode": "USD",
        "ReservedNodeId": "zzzzzzzz-zzzz-zzzz-zzzz-zzzzzzzzzzzz",
        "NodeType": "dc2.large",
        "NodeCount": 1,
        "RecurringCharges": [
            {
                "RecurringChargeFrequency": "Hourly",
                "RecurringChargeAmount": 0.2
            }
        ],
        "ReservedNodeOfferingType": "Regular",
        "StartTime": "2018-06-27T18:02:58Z",
        "ReservedNodeOfferingId": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyyy",
        "Duration": 31536000
    }
}

You can confirm that the exchange is complete by calling describe-reserved-nodes and checking the value for Node type.
