summary
Claims automated use of EC2 Spot Instances, Reserved Instances and Savings Plans to cut compute cost up to 90%, with Spotinst managing Elastic Group, Ocean, and managed RI/savings plans. Platform reports managing 3 billion resource hours per month and $200M saved in 2019; a cited account drops $50K on‑demand to $16K (83% savings).
