Does Databricks give customers the option to choose reserved instances or are there any barriers to savings plan ?

Hi, AWS work in collaboration with Databricks and we provide pay-as-go pricing plan in the following link below. The saving plans apply to the EC2 and Fargate instances, not to other services such as SageMaker. Additionally, Amazon Web Services does provide EMR with Reserved Instances, the following link will provide more information for any questions needed.
