m Amazon EC2 provides customers three different
purchasing models that give you the flexibility to
optimize your costs.
ð `
 
  allow you to pay a fixed rate by the hour
with no commitment.
ð á  
  you pay a low, one-time fee and in turn
receive a significant discount on the hourly usage charge for that
instance.
ð ë


  enable you to bid whatever price you want for
instance capacity, providing for even greater savings if your
applications have flexible start and end times.
