db.m5.2xlarge questions
- Does a db.m5.2xlarge Reserved Instance renew automatically?
- No. AWS Reserved Instances never auto-renew. When the term ends, db.m5.2xlarge reverts to the on-demand rate shown above until you buy again.
- Is a 3-year term worth it for db.m5.2xlarge?
- At the us-east-1 rate shown here, the deepest 3-year offer breaks even in about 14 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.
