Compute Savings Plans provide similar benefits to EC2 Instance Savings Plans, but extend the cost savings beyond just EC2 instances to other AWS compute services like AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda (serverless). This plan offers up to 66% savings and provides the most flexibility as it automatically applies to usage across any AWS services that fall into the compute category. This would be particularly beneficial as the company is planning to migrate to a serverless architecture, as it allows them to save on both current EC2 usage and future serverless configurations.
