This is a follow up on my previous episode on Reserved Instances and Savings plans. In the previous episode i talked a lot about the technology, and focused on the the various types of reserved instances and savings plans. In this episode I'm talking about strategies for how to implement them in practice in your AWS account, including my recommendation on which option to choose, and in which case it makes the most sense to use 3rd party tools for automated purchase and selling of standard RIs.
