I am willing to resell reserved instances in AWS in several region.

I read the official documentation but I still have few questions:

  1. Who will be the effective buyer of the instance (in the financial documents), AWS or end customers?
  2. How many money transfers will there be? I have about 10 instances for 4 months and I don't want to end up in the situation when I receive dozens of $10 transfers per each end user payment.

Many thanks!

  1. End users. Why do you care anyway? You would sell through the AWS reservation service and the money would go through Amazon.

  2. I don't understand the question. Are these reservations or spot requests? You would have at most 1 money transfer per instance reservation. How are your previous spot requests related to the instance reservations you want to sell?

  • I thought reselled reserved instances become spot ones on the second-hand market :) Maybe I am wrong. – riverfall Jun 27 '17 at 14:52

    @riverfall - At worst, you would receive one payment per Reserved Instance that is sold. You might receive fewer is somebody purchases multiple at the same time -- that page says "A transaction can involve one or more Reserved Instances." – John Rotenstein Jun 28 '17 at 07:54
