I need your help with one of the EC2 configuration changes I made recently.
I have 14 EC2 On-Demand running instances and sometime back I came to know that, I can actually reduce the cost to half by purchasing reserved instances.
To begin with, I purchased 1 Reserved instance that matches the On-Demand instance type and the billing discount applied immediately (I can confirm this based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvdnJrLlWJs).
Then I went ahead and purchased 4 more Reserved Instances as shown below:
After purchase I was expecting to see the billing discount applied but instead I saw RIs under No Region (show below). The configuration that I chose were exactly the same as I had for the single instance, the only difference here is the quantity of instances are 4.
I can confirm that all of my 14 EC2 Running On-Demand instances are of the t2.medium family.
Kindly help and suggest. Thanks
