Reserved Instance
A discounted billing model offered by cloud providers in which users commit to a one-year or three-year term in exchange for a lower price relative to on-demand rates. It remains fundamentally a form of leasing.

For bulk and sustained demand, reserved instances or committed-use discounts are generally more cost-effective and capacity-reliable than spot leasing.
Compared to reserved instances and on-demand instances, preemptible instances occupy the lowest-price, least-stable end of the spectrum, forming the third tier of cloud computing resource pricing.
The fixed subscription plus quota cap pricing model is logically similar to cloud computing's Reserved Instances: users commit to consumption in advance in exchange for a lower unit price.
