AWS Cost Management now provides purchase recommendations for Amazon DynamoDB reserved capacity
Starting today, AWS Cost Explorer offers purchase recommendations for Amazon DynamoDB reserved capacity. DynamoDB reserved capacity allows you to save up to 77% compared to provisioned capacity pricing in exchange for a usage commitment over a one or three-year term. With these new recommendations, you can make informed purchases of DynamoDB reserved capacity in minutes, making it even easier to optimize your DynamoDB spend.
With this launch, AWS Cost Explorer now includes recommendations for 7 reservation models: Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon OpenSearch, Amazon MemoryDB, and Amazon DynamoDB reserved capacity. Cost Explorer automatically analyzes your DynamoDB usage and generates recommendations to cover your provisioned capacity with reserved capacity at a discounted rate. You can customize the recommendation parameters, such as term length and historical usage period, to ensure they align with your organization’s financial goals.
DynamoDB reserved capacity recommendations are available in all AWS Regions where DynamoDB operates, except China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet), China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD), and AWS GovCloud.
