Compute Savings Plan
A commitment to a fixed hourly spend ($/hr) that applies across instance families, sizes, regions, and even Fargate/Lambda.
A Compute Savings Plan commits you to spend a certain dollar amount per hour (e.g. $10/hr) for 1 or 3 years. In exchange you get a discount that automatically applies to any EC2 usage — regardless of family, size, OS, tenancy, or region — and also to AWS Fargate and Lambda.
It is the most flexible commitment model: you are not locked to a specific instance. The trade-off is a slightly smaller discount than an EC2 Instance Savings Plan or a Standard RI for the same term and payment option.
