    Effectively using AWS Reserved Instances
Learn how Stripe uses AWS Reserved Instances and capacity planning to effectively manage a
dynamic, scalable cloud infrastructure: https://stripe.com/blog/aws-reserved-instances
Usage
Included are three files:

Makefile: This generates our Python environment for running the ETL.
reserved_instance_etl.py: This Python notebook performs an ETL job analyze the snapshot of our fleet
and outputs a report of how many reserved instances to buy.
reserved_instance_etl.sql: This SQL query takes a snapshot of our fleet, including usage for reserved
and on demand instances.

You can automate a report showing which and how many reserved instances to buy using these components.
First run reserved_instance_etl.sql on the Redshift cluster containing your cost and usage report. Save the
results as a CSV. Then run the ETL, for example:
make
. venv/bin/activate
./reserved_instance_etl.py us-west-2 reserved-instance-2018-06.csv
