What a lapse costs
Miss the renewal on Amazon ElastiCache, pay the difference.
AWS Reserved Instances never renew on their own. When the term ends, the instance reverts to the on-demand rate. Reserver's expiry radar tracks every reservation's end date and flags a term before it lapses.

Questions
Amazon ElastiCache Reserved Instance questions.
Do Amazon ElastiCache Reserved Instances renew automatically?
No. AWS Reserved Instances never renew on their own. When the term ends, Amazon ElastiCache usage reverts to the on-demand rate shown above. Reserver's expiry radar flags the end date before that happens, so nobody has to remember to look.
Should we buy a 1-year or a 3-year Amazon ElastiCache Reserved Instance?
Across this catalog, the median 3-year discount on Amazon ElastiCache runs about 55% off on-demand, against 36% at 1 year. The deeper discount pays off once an instance has more runway left than its break-even point. Check the price table above for the exact figure at your instance type.
What engine or class does the Amazon ElastiCache price table above use?
Every row above prices Redis, the standard Reserved Instance class, in us-east-1. Open any instance type's own page to switch region or engine. That page carries the full matrix.
How much size flexibility does Amazon ElastiCache give us?
A reservation flexes across sizes inside the same family, region, and engine. ElastiCache sells no convertible option, so the family and the engine stay fixed for the term. The size flexibility calculator lists the exact rules.
