Savings Plans types

Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and help to reduce your costs by up to 81 percent. These plans automatically apply to your EC2 instance usage across all instance types in a given Region regardless of instance family, instance size, availability zone, operating system, or tenancy, and also apply to Fargate and Lambda usage. For example, with Compute Savings Plans, you can change from c4 instances to m5 instances, or move a workload from Amazon EC2 to Fargate or Lambda at any time, and automatically continue to pay the Savings Plans price.

EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide the lowest prices, offering savings up to 84 percent in exchange for commitment to usage of individual instance families in a region (for example, m5 usage in Beijing). This automatically reduces your cost on the selected instance family in that region regardless of availability zone, size, operating system, or tenancy. EC2 Instance Savings Plans give you the flexibility to change your usage between instances within a family in that Region. For example, you can move from c5.xlarge running Windows to c5.2xlarge running Linux and automatically benefit from the Savings Plans prices.

SageMaker AI Savings Plans provide savings up to 64 percent off of On-Demand rates. These plans automatically apply to your SageMaker AI instance usage regardless of instance family (for example, ml.m5, ml.c5, etc.), instance sizes (for example ml.c5.large, ml.c5.xlarge, etc.), Region (for example, us-east-1, us-east-2, etc.), and component (for example, Notebook, Training, etc.).

With SageMaker AI Savings Plans, you can move a workload from ml.c5 to ml.m5, shift your usage from Europe (Ireland) to Europe (London), or migrate your usage from Training to Inference at any time and continue to receive benefits.
