Benefits

Flexibility

Savings plans can be applied to pay-as-you-go instances across instance families, sizes, images, and regions to suit business needs and reduce usage costs.

Cost-Effectiveness

You can select a duration of one or three years for your savings plans based on your business needs. You can choose between general-purpose and ECS compute savings plans based on your business convergence. Savings plans can reduce usage costs by up to 70%.

Ease of Use

A plan calculator is provided to help you select savings plans more accurately. The calculator recommends savings plans based on your business needs.

Comparison of Plan Types

ECS compute savings plans are less flexible but offer higher discounts than general purpose savings plans.

Item	General-purpose	ECS Compute
Use Across Services	Can be used across services. General-purpose savings plans can be applied to the following services and resources: Computing resources (vCPU and memory), system disks, and public bandwidth of ECS instances Computing resources (vCPU and memory) of ECI instances	Can only be applied to computing resources (vCPU and memory), system disks, and public bandwidth of ECS instances.
Region Limitations	Has no limitations on regions.	Can only be applied within a single region.
Instance Limitations	Has no limitations on instance families, instance sizes, or operating systems.	Can only be applied to a specific instance family regardless of the instance size or operating system.

Purchase and Use Guidelines

1

Select a Savings Plan Type

Choose between general-purpose (high flexibility) and
ECS compute (offers higher billing discounts but requires regions and instance families to be selected.)

2

Make an Hourly Commitment

Specify an hourly commitment. If you have instances running, the system recommends a suitable hourly commitment based on your past consumption trends.
