Plan, implement, and execute against your desired workloads with prioritized datacenter capacity around the globe—ensure resources are available when and where you need them.
While RIs require making upfront commitments on compute capacity, they also provide flexibility should your business needs change. Easily exchange or cancel RIs at any time.
- Exchange RIs across any region and any series as your workload or application needs change.
- Cancel your RIs if you no longer need the capacity you purchased. Cancel at any time in the reservation term for an adjusted refund.
