EC2 Reserved Instances for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
|
You can now purchase EC2 Reserved Instances running Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Reserved Instances lower costs by giving you the option to make a low, one-time payment to reserve compute capacity and receive a significant discount on the hourly charge for that instance. Reserved Instances are complementary to existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux On-Demand Instances and give you even more flexibility to reduce computing costs and gain access to a broad range of applications running upon a proven, dependable, and fully supported Linux distribution on the AWS Cloud.
If you want to use Reserved Instances with RHEL, you no longer need to perform additional steps to rebuild On-Demand RHEL AMIs before you can use them on Reserved Instances. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Reserved Instances are available in major versions both in 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, in all Regions except AWS GovCloud.

To make it even easier for you to get started, you can get a $50 AWS credit that you can use to launch EC2 instances running Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
