       | Hello HN, We created an AWS Savings Plans calculator. A simple
       | calculator to determine how much Compute or EC2 Savings plan
       | commitment is required for your use case.
       | 
       | AWS computes your Savings Plans recommendation in the cost
       | explorer. However, in some cases, there will be No
       | Recommendations for any selection of options. Possible causes
       | could be due to:
       | 
       | - The average On-Demand spend of the EC2s is less than $0.10/hour
       | 
       | - The EC2s are not on 100% utilization (i.e., not running 24/7)
       | 
       | - The EC2s have partial or complete coverage with RIs
       | 
       | In these cases, you can still leverage the flexibility and
       | discounts that Savings Plans offer, but this will require
       | manually calculating the commitment necessary. This is where the
       | calculator comes in handy. The calculator will allow you to:
       | 
       | - Calculate total EC2/Compute Savings Plans commitment for 1-year
       | or 3-year commitments
       | 
       | - Mix and aggregate calculations for different regions and
       | instance families
       | 
       | - Specify the quantities and Utilization (On-demand hours) to
       | ensure you do not over-commit
       | 
       | - Give you a visual breakeven point for your use case
       | 
       | We'd love to hear about any feedback, ideas, or questions you
       | might have!
