This can provide a significant discount (up to 72%) compared to On-Demand pricing. ### Where are find Hyperglance's recommendations? From the left-hand menu, under **Cost,** select **AWS Reserved Instances** ![reserved-instance-recommendations](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reserved-instance-recommendations.png?width=688&name=reserved-instance-recommendations.png) ### How does it work? Hyperglance calculates how much you have spent on your Instances over the last month and lets you see how much you can save by buying a 12 or 36-month Reserved Instance. Hyperglance will recommend across three payment options: **All Upfront**, **Partial Upfront**, and **No Upfront**. You can see cost savings percentage-wise, monthly, or over the entire term. Note: If you choose the Partial or No Upfront payment option, the remaining balance will be due in monthly increments over the term. ![ri-example-savings](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ri-example-savings.png?width=688&name=ri-example-savings.png) ### How often are the recommendations updated? Hyperglance will check for new potential recommendations once a day, or anytime you add or remove an account via the Settings page. The last 30 days cost of the instances is updated hourly (although the billing CSVs created by AWS may or may not be updated that fast), so savings estimates given in the table are always up-to-date. - [Before You Start](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#gcp) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#azure) - [Using Hyperglance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Automations](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#automations) - [Inventory & Diagrams](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#inventory-diagrams) - [Rules](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#rules) - [Cost Management](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#cost-management) - [Dashboards](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#dashboards) - [Security & Compliance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#security-compliance) - [Setup & Configuration](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Updating & Migrating](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#updating-migrating) - [General](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#general) - [RBAC & Users](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#rbac-users) - [STIGS & FIPS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#stigs-fips) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#azure) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#gcp) - [API](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#api) - [Legacy Docker-based deployments](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#legacy-docker-based-deployments) - [AI](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#ai) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hyperglance.png?width=134&height=24&name=hyperglance.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.hyperglance.com/) 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA 95134 Copyright © 2025 Hyperglance.
