cache.t4g.medium questions
- Does a cache.t4g.medium Reserved Instance renew automatically?
- No. AWS Reserved Instances never auto-renew. When the term ends, cache.t4g.medium reverts to the on-demand rate shown above until you buy again.
- Is a 3-year term worth it for cache.t4g.medium?
- At the us-east-1 rate shown here, the deepest 3-year offer breaks even in about 16 months. Worth it if this instance type has more runway than that left. Reserver's recommendations look at your actual run history before suggesting 1yr vs 3yr.
