Reserved Packages
All services on the Open Telekom Cloud (OTC) are paid as-you-go by default. These are pro-rated per minute. If you know the services are long-lasting, it is worth paying for Reserved Packages, which come in 12-24 month contracts. You can book Reserved Packages in the eShop.
Booking a Reserved Package
When booking a reserved package, you will have to go through the configurator to find the right service. If your service already exists (for example, db.x1.large.2.ha | 2 vCPUs | 4 GB (Dedicated)) it is critical that the reserved package matches.
Reserved packages are a purely billing instrument. This means if you reserve a new service, it is not created for you in the console.
