Cool. So they had roughly (with rounding):

RRS: 2+3+6+8+9+18+19+22+27+34+42+48+7=~245 TB/months=~

Normal: 7+9+13+19+24+46+56+65+76+95+123+153+174+25=~885 TB/months

Difference:

$0.085-$0.0300=$0.055

$0.068-$0.0240=$0.044

End:

0.055 * 885 * 1024=$49,843 0.044 * 245 * 1024=$11,039 $49,843+$11,039=~$60k saved which is 20% of what they were short, if they had started with April 1st's pricing.

If you can reduce the AWS $400k by 40% due to the reduced pricing for EC2, you'd still fall short.
