Excellent discussion about the features and it was a well-made video by Peter.

Hi there, thanks for the professional explain.
My question is if I buy the RIs or SavingPlans and the pricing is per hour, may I run multi-instances in a short term to run out of capacity?
ex: I buy a year, but my company is going to hold an activity and want to run out of all of the hours within two months.
ex: I buy a year, my instance only works on Mon to Fri. May I use multi-instance to run out of the rest of the hours?

Good one , helpful , wanted to know more tools for EKS cost saving efforts , there are also some third party tools which boasts of monthly EKS savings, however wanted to know what intrinsic AWS tools are available to achieve the same

How do I calculate the costs if I have several TH-cam videos on my website (ec2). So no uploads only TH-cam links added where visitors can play the videos. How do you calculate the costs that will come up for me ? what do you call these costs that arise?

Hi there
Where to find the latest information about `aws services offering RIs`?

I have two instances one for the database and one for file storage I want to merge both and make it a single instance. How I could do that and will it impact the cost?

Hi , Could you please suggest on Orphaned / Idle Resources. Do we have any AWS service to detect and clean up
- Unused Elastic IP Addresses
- Unused EBS Volumes
- Unused snapshots (Snapshots that are not associated with AMI)
- Unused Security Groups (Snapshots that are not associated with any EC2)
- Unused Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs with no instances)
- Unused Launch Configurations (LCs that are not associated with a ASG)
- Unused Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs that Desired Capacity set to 0)
- Unused EC2 Instance
- Unused Cloud Formation
- Unused S3 Buckets
If any other services could cost additional which is not consumed. Looking for your suggestion.
Best Regards,
Dineshkumar A
