aws ec2 purchase-reserved-instances-offering
Purchases a Reserved Instance for use with your account. With Reserved Instances, you pay a lower hourly rate compared to On-Demand instance pricing. Use DescribeReservedInstancesOfferings to get a list of Reserved Instance offerings that match your specifications. After you've purchased a Reserved Instance, you can check for your new Reserved Instance with DescribeReservedInstances. To queue a purchase for a future date and time, specify a purchase time. If you do not specify a purchase time, the default is the current time. For more information, see Reserved Instances and Reserved Instance Marketplace in the Amazon EC2 User Guide
