Generate an estimate in AWS Pricing Calculator
This section outlines how to use AWS Pricing Calculator to generate estimates for your use cases. The following step-by step processes detail how you can configure services, specify parameters such as instance types and storage, and add additional services to build a detailed estimate.
To get the most out of your estimates, make sure you have a good understanding of your base requirements. For example, if you want to try Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), we recommended that you know the type of operating system you need, your memory requirements, and how much I/O you need.
Additionally, you should determine whether you need storage. For example, decide if you want to run a database and for how long you intend to use the servers you need. You can use the AWS Pricing Calculator service configuration and parameters to see which option meets your specific use case and budget.
