Elastic Compute Service:View pay-as-you-go instances that match a reserved instance

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2023

Reserved Instance allows you to view eligible pay-as-you-go instances that match reserved instances. If pay-as-you-go instances are displayed in the matching instance list of a reserved instance, these pay-as-you-go instances can match the reserved instance. However, the reserved instance is not necessarily applied to all these pay-as-you-go instances. You can check your bills for usage details of the reserved instance.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ECS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Instances & Images > icon1 > Reserved Instances.

  3. In the upper-left corner of the Reserved Instances page, click View Reserved Instances.
  4. Select the region and zone where a reserved instance resides.
  5. Find the reserved instance and click View the matching instances.
    Note The pay-as-you-go instances created by E-MapReduce (EMR), Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK), or Elastic Container Instance are not displayed in the matching instance lists of reserved instances. However, these pay-as-you-go instances can be matched to reserved instances to benefit from the billing discounts of the reserved instances.

Result

You are directed to the Instances page, where pay-as-you-go instances that match the reserved instance are displayed.
