EC2 Instance Savings Plans apply to compute usage that matches a single family in a single region, offering higher discounts.

EC2 Instance Savings Plans apply to compute usage that matches a single family in a single region, offering higher discounts.

• A. EC2 Instance Savings Plans
• B. Compute Savings Plans
• C. Global Savings Plans
• D. Proximity Savings Plans

Answer: (A)

Savings Plans are a way to lower running costs by committing to a certain amount of compute usage. When the plan is scoped to a single instance family in a single region, it can offer a deeper discount because the usage pattern is highly predictable and tightly defined. This restricted scope means AWS can optimize pricing specifically for that family in that region, yielding higher savings for that exact usage. In practice, this means if your workloads stay within one instance family (like M5) in one region, you’ll benefit from the largest possible discount under this plan. If you need flexibility across multiple families or regions, a broader option is used, which provides a bit less discount but covers more diverse usage. The concept described matches EC2 Instance Savings Plans, which are designed for that focused, high-discount scenario.
