How do i use an AWS reserved instance with elastic beanstalk. I only see tutorials on using reserved instance on ec2 instance but not elastic beanstalk.

  • You do not "create" a reserved instance. Reserved instances are a billing discount and a capacity assurance. For each Amazon EC2 billing hour, if an EC2 instance is being used that matches an available Reserved Instance, then the billing discount is applied. The explanations on the other Question are accurate. – John Rotenstein Jun 06 '19 at 03:56
  • But if i just get a reserved instance will it cover the elastic beanstalk? – Starbody Jun 06 '19 at 09:12

    If you get a Reserved Instance for, say, an `m5.large` and you use Elastic Beanstalk to launch an `m5.large` and there is no other `m5.large` running at the time then, yes, the billing discount associated with the Reserved Instance will apply to the EC2 instance launched by Elastic Beanstalk.
