AWS Savings Plans

Compare a variety of Amazon Web Services saving plans duration.
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Savings Plans is a dashboard that provides a flexible pricing model that offers significant savings on your AWS compute usage in exchange for a specific usage commitment.
On this dashboard, users can compare different savings plans duration and payment options, as well as manage, forecast and plan for future AWS savings plans purchases.
The AWS Savings Plan is consumed directly in the AWS Cost Explorer. However, the AWS dashboard in Cost and Access Management is meant to give recommendations and plan options based on the commitment preference.
