Vantage Autopilot – Save on AWS EC2 Costs

Hi HN, I’m cofounder of https://www.vantage.sh/ - I previously worked at AWS and DigitalOcean. Today Vantage is launching Autopilot: a managed service that identifies and applies savings to your AWS account by automating the buying and selling of reserved instances. This is saving early customers over 50% in some cases. Upon opting into Autopilot, if your on-demand EC2 costs increase, Vantage purchases 3 year, no-upfront reserved instances. In the event your compute spend decreases, Autopilot will list your reserved instances for sale in the AWS EC2 Reserved Instance marketplace on your behalf. Unlike other providers that charge you egregious fees (20% or more), Autopilot only charges you 5% of the savings found. These are your cost savings and I believe you should have as much of the benefit as possible. Some of our current customers include Barstool Sports, PlanetScale, Panther, and MIT. Happy to answer any questions or feel free to contact me at ben [at] vantage [dot] sh if I can be helpful.
