i. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud and offers a variety of instance types and pricing options to suit different use cases. Here's a detailed explanation of the EC2 pricing:

**On-Demand Instances:**
- **Pricing**: Pay for compute capacity by the hour or second (minimum of 60 seconds) with no long-term commitments.
- **Use Cases**: Ideal for applications with short-term, spiky, or unpredictable workloads that cannot be interrupted.

**Savings Plans:**
- **Discounts**: Offers up to 72% savings compared to On-Demand prices in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage for a 1- or 3-year term.
- **Types**: Includes Compute Savings Plans, EC2 Instance Savings Plans, and Amazon SageMaker Savings Plans.

**Spot Instances:**
- **Discounts**: Allows you to take advantage of unused EC2 capacity at discounts of up to 90% compared to On-Demand prices.
- **Use Cases**: Suitable for fault-tolerant or stateless workloads with flexible start and end times¹.

**Reserved Instances:**
- **Discounts**: Provides a significant discount (up to 75%) compared to On-Demand pricing for a commitment to use a specific instance type in a region for a term of one or three years.

**Dedicated Hosts:**
- **Physical Servers**: Dedicated physical servers for your use which can help you meet compliance requirements.

**Data Transfer:**
- **Pricing**: Data transfer "in" to EC2 from the internet is generally free, while data transfer "out" has tiered pricing based on the total volume of data transferred.

**AWS Free Tier:**
- **Offer**: Includes 750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro or t3.micro instance usage for one year.

**Additional Costs:**
- **Storage**: Pricing for EBS (Elastic Block Store) volumes is separate from EC2 instances.
- **Data Transfer**: Data transfer costs can apply when moving data to and from EC2 instances.

**AWS Pricing Calculator:**
- **Tool**: AWS provides a Pricing Calculator to estimate costs based on your specific requirements.
