Questions: 1. Let’s say you purchased a reservation (or savings plan) for a 1-year term. How would you launch an instance to get the discounted pricing? [Choose one answer] a. Launch On-demand instance that matches reservation (or savings plan) criteria b. Specify reservation (or savings plan) to use in the launch configuration of an instance 2. Using AWS Pricing Calculator, compare the monthly and annual cost of running an on-demand m5.2xlarge instance in the US East (Ohio) and the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions. Is the price the same or different? Explain your answer in the comments 3. Would you use a spot instance for your production database?
1-a 2-Price varies greatly Ohio - 280.32 USD/month, 3,363.84 USD/yr Tokyo - 362.08 USD/month, 4,344.96 USD/yr ~30% increase 3-No. But maybe for a distributed DB like Cassandra with many nodes?
I am grateful for your expertise and ability to breakdown complex concepts into clear and concise lessons. Your course in Udemy & TH-cam has been a gamechanger for my cloud journey and i appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much. Regards.
Thank you for explaining AWS pricing so deeply. I have one question, If I created 20 instances and only 10 instances are running 24x7, will AWS charge me $1.50/hour for those turned-off instances too as if I purchase a savings plan with a commitment of $1.50/hour? Especially the "compute savings plans" one. One more question, if my committed hourly rate is $1.50 in the savings plan and someday my actual hourly usage is $2.5, what will happen in this case? Thank you.
savings plan is a discount that is applied to your billing. if you don't have instances running, that discount is wasted and you would still have to pay for the hourly commitment that your purchased. In case your usage is above savings plan commitment, then the excess usage is billed at on-demand rates (or any other applicable savings plan or reservation is applied)
Love the video but I don't understand why you would use a spot plan for a web server? Surely if the instance goes down that will impact production users ...
@@CloudConceptsByChandra I thought that on-demand instances have high availability so I wasn't planning on having to handle for such events. On the other hand, spot instances do go down every now and then.

@@niteshr7651 Awesome!
Question 3. Never use spot instance for production db
@@gurudasp yes!
Hello Chandra,
This is excellent comparison. Can we download this comparison excel somehow ?
I am grateful for your expertise and ability to breakdown complex concepts into clear and concise lessons. Your course in Udemy & TH-cam has been a gamechanger for my cloud journey and i appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much. Regards.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! I am glad to be part of your learning journey!
Your content deserves millions of views...may this happens in future 🙌
Thank you, Mitesh! You made my day :-)
Great content with demonstration and examples. I also love the pace at which you speak…many talk really fast and it’s hard to follow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I totally agree with you. the best video on TH-cam about this topic. I will certainly check out your videos on Udemy.
Thank you, Chandra. Great video. Your UDEMY course is also really good.
Glad it was helpful!
May God bless you, i purchased your Udemy course "Practice Test AWS SAA" and i'm very glad i did ! strongly recommand your courses 🤝
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you Chandra ! Excelent ...must be whatched by all Solutions Architecs !
Happy to hear Augusto! Thank you!
Hi Chandra, Nice concept. Thanks
Nice and Depth explaination. Can we get ARM processor machine @ free trial
Looks like ARM is currently not offered under free tier. I don't see an ARM based t2 or t3 micro
Thanks Chandra. Indeed very detailed. One doubt. whats the difference between Ec2instance savings plan and compute saving plan?
It is discussed @ 13:26. th-cam.com/video/sb266536q_k/w-d-xo.html

super helpful 👍🏻
Question 3 never use production database for spot instance

What will you do if your on-demand instance or an AZ goes down?
@@CloudConceptsByChandra I thought that on-demand instances have high availability so I wasn't planning on having to handle for such events. On the other hand, spot instances do go down every now and then.
