echoing McLoughlin's comment - this video is 21mins and 37 secs of very clear and lucid explanation of Azure Savings Plans and how they interact with RIs. And I didn't notice any ahs or ums - superior speaking ability.
Great video! I was at ignite in Seattle last week, was at one of the “Ask the Expert” sessions where they explained Savings Plans and I also watched one of the sessions that went into a bit more detail (BRK15: Optimize your Investment in Azure) but this explanation was superior!
Really good that as our estate changes so much over 12 months and as luck would have it our initial RI's are due to end in the next month. Really useful thanks John!
John I’m not sure how you did it but you covered reserved instances (a complex topic) as well as the new savings plan in about 20 mins. Great use of my time. Thanks again for all your efforts educating the community (and me)
Excellent explanation as always, and I agree this is likely to become the preferred option for organisations who are expanding into new regions and modernising apps which consume various compute services. Thanks John.
Thanks for another great video! And thank you very much for the crams videos, for az-104 videos and play list. Thanks to that I have got the AZ-104 certification. 🇧🇷
Great explanation of savings plans. One thing to be aware of is that you can cancel up to $50k of reservations per year but savings plans cannot be modified or cancelled once committed.
Nice one. Our org loves reserved instances as some of our saas products run on a set SKU and the customer typically runs on a yearly rolling contract so works super well in knowing committed spend is contractually there for a year and not changing. Perfect for reserved instances. However, this is interesting to know, a much more flexible approach for a wider net.
Great explanation, maybe one aspect for reserved instances which is not covered and only important for non US Dollar coutries. With reserved instances the price for the reserved vm is "locked" based on the current conversion rate. Depends on the current rate it could be great or bad :-) Thank You for your great sessions evwry week!
Hey John, thank you so much for this and well done for completing Iron Man 2022! A lot of organisations will be jumping all over this especially particularly in the UK Azure prices have gone up around 11% in the last few months. One thing which a lot of people will be wanting to know is how savings are calculated when applying Savings Plan retrospectively to supported compute resource, in particular with VMs that are only on for say a few hours a day. It's not really clear from documentation. Cheers!
Great video as always, well done IronMan. I'm hoping to see other examples of measuring for utilization, especially in large subs & M.G.'s ... and ... blending with reservations and AHUB. For my money, ASPs (another ASP!) server to further complicate best-case billing scenarios as there aren't much for tools to help build your strategy. It's all excel from here!
If your customer has an Enterprise Agreement or Microsoft Azure Commit To Consume (MACC) that includes an Azure Commitment Discount (ACD), it will not stack on top of savings plans. In some cases, the ACD will have better overall pricing than savings plans.

You are super clear.

its hourly billing wake up to whats running in that hour as I explained in the video.
Love your work John ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great video great view. Great show

The Azure Advisor etc will give recommendations.
Thank you!
Thx ! As always great video.
This is great!

Right, same for Azure Reservations.
This is a great service!
Great info thanks 🙂
Is this still considered opex? :) Great info!
