Database Savings Plans allow customers to commit to a consistent usage amount over one year to receive up to 35% savings without upfront payment. The expansion means that eligible usage in OpenSearch Service and Neptune Analytics—both provisioned and serverless—now qualifies for these plans, providing more flexible discounted pricing.
The plans automatically apply to various instance sizes, families, engines, and regions (excluding China). Customers can switch between instance types within these services while retaining savings. Tools like purchase recommendations and Savings Plans Purchase Analyzer assist in optimizing commitments. This feature is broadly available across AWS regions.
