What is the solution of above error on AWS Reserved Instance.
Plz give me solution.
I try to Purchase Reserved instance and Place order but my order fail to proceed on AWS.
If you’ve had your AWS account for less than about a month, then you cannot purchase reserved instances with No Upfront Cost. You’re too risky to receive the discount at this stage.
Amazon state:
You're purchasing a No Upfront RI with a new AWS account. AWS restricts the ability for new accounts to purchase No Upfront RIs. The restriction on purchasing No Upfront RIs is lifted automatically, usually after about a month.

Hey I just want to know info about the reserved rds instance. Suppose one purchase an reserve rds plan for an year with no up front payment method. And there is no rds instance currently running that matches the same setting like db instance class etc as of the reserved one. Will I am going to charge for it or not, as reserve rds plan is of 1 year.
Thanks
Yes. With reserved instances you pay for it, if you use it or not.
Thanks for looking into this
I have purchased 2 reserved instance on AWS t3a.xlarge + windows and t3a.xlarge + windows + ms SQL for one year with no upfront as the payment method and region as Mumbai(ap-south)
Post the purchase I have launched the 2 instances in the same region with the same configuration AS I checked a day later I was getting billed for those new servers-where the reserved instance was not used.
How should I proceed here?? and where did I made the mistake
thanks in advance
Best way to look at this is through the AWS Cost Management service (Billing). In there you'll find the utilization dashboard and the coverage dashboard of your Reserved instances. That should give you a good idea why the RIs weren't applied.
Because there is a lot of missing information from your question, I'd suggest to check the following:
Regional vs AZ RIs - make sure that you didn't purchase RIs for a specific AZ and then deployed in in a different one (even if the region is the same)
See your hourly usage patterns. It's not attached to an instance, and calculated on a hourly basis.
Check carefully that the RIs you purchased are aligned with exactly what you deployed as you talked about a Windows machine which has several different offerings.
Good luck!
I'm getting ready to launch a mobile app that I have hosted on AWS with an EC2 instance. ($0.0464 per On Demand Linux t2.medium Instance Hour).
This past month I was charged $112 for the EC2 usage, but only had a handful of internal users testing the private version of the app. It's a fairly simple app, not anything that should require a lot of computing power.
So what I'm wondering is if 10 users and dev team costs $112/mo, what happens if I get 1,000 users, or 10k users? Would the cost increase 100x, 1000x? I can't imagine getting auto-billed for $112,000 for a month of service with a small user base like 10k users.
Thanks for any help and guidance, I don't know much about AWS.
Here are the details of my billing for last month:
The billing page shows 2219 hours of t2.medium during this billing month.
That is the equivalent of 92 days. So, it might be 3 instances running for a full month.
Amazon EC2 is charged when the instance is in the Running state. If you are not using an instance, you can Stop the instance. The attached disks (EBS) will still be charged, but there will be no charge for the instance itself.
The charge is not based on the number of users, nor how 'busy' the instance is. It is simply charged when the instance is 'running'. This is because computer resources are exclusively assigned to instances (CPU, RAM) that nobody else can use.
Bottom line: Stop instances that you don't need. Use the smallest instance type for your use-case to reduce costs.
If you were not aware of the charges involved, you can contact AWS Customer Service and request a refund.
FYI, the T2 and T3 family are great for workloads that occasionally 'burst' but then have low-usage periods, but they are not great for sustained workloads. See: Burstable performance instances - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
I'm trying to stay within the limits of my free tier, however, I notice I am being charged ~$1.50 a day for something, I don't know what.
I've terminated all my instances, yet the bill keeps ticking up every day.
I've also deleted all my security groups, route-tables, nat-gateway, subnets and vpc, everything I can think of. Something is still there creating charges though.
How can I get a list of all the objects still hanging around?
You can add a support request to AWS, there are very responsive to the requests. I had a student account on AWS and some Fargate charges were added to my account. I opened a case and submitted a ticket in the support centre. They responded quickly with the reason why my charges were occurring and also gave me $20 USD credit for that month. Also, you can check if Termination protection is enabled in any of your stack in CloudFormation. It stops your instances from being deleted.
you can contact aws support centre for more info. after deleting all instances and other services wait for 24-48 hour. it will be reflected in billing after that much amount of time.
you can go inside cloud formation and delete all stack if any one is there and check for all region.
also if you created load balancer delete it manually it will be not deleted with EC2 instances.
I purchased a reserved instance in Singapore region on April 17 2017. The instance is going to expire on April 11 2018. Is there any way to renew the my reserved instance before expiration.
From AWS portal we'll get to know only this..
It’s not currently possible to schedule an EC2 Reserved Instance to auto-renew, or to purchase Reserved Instances in advance. Reserved Instances are active as soon as they’re successfully purchased.
To view your active Reserved Instances and see when they expire, check the Amazon EC2 console.
Note: Reserved Instances apply to a specific region, so make sure to check all regions where you have created Reserved Instances.
Although the reservation must be manually renewed, from May 2019 you can be alerted by email prior to reservation expiry using the cost explorer tool.
Here is an excerpt from this aws announcement:
To turn on reservation expiration alerts, navigate to the Reservation Summary page, locate the reservation expiration Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in the top right corner, and click on the “Manage alerts” link. From there, simply indicate when you would like to receive reservation expiration alerts, and AWS will begin monitoring your reservation portfolio and automatically send you alerts. Reservation expiration alerts are supported for Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon ElastiCache, and Amazon Elasticsearch reservations.
