You should be reserving those instances so it IS a FIXed cost, with very few exceptions.


There are many AWS services for which you cannot make reservations. You can get better per unit rates by pre-purchasing, but even with instances, network transfer is a per unit factor.

Your only way out is the built in tools to limit service in these cases or to build your own circuit breakers and implement them, or make your usage so small as to not truly require the cloud in the first place.
