Move the application to a single large on-demand instance

Purchase reserved instances for the entire auto-scaling group

Use a mix of on-demand and spot instances in the auto-scaling group

Use only spot instances in the auto-scaling group

Purchase reserved instances to lower the overall cost

Create a billing alert at 80% of the budget threshold
