IMHO Reservations in AWS are good if you have a US Bank Account. Why? Because there is a secondary market (run by AWS) where you can buy and sell reservations.

If you have a 1-year project that will have a 1-year extension, then get a 3-year reservation (with some amount upfront) that you can sell.

Your second best option is a Savings Plan.

Neat! Is this via third party services or Amazon itself? Curious about details on the retrade market.

Amazon does the reselling and through their web interface.
