Transferring instances
How MilkStraw AI transfers your EC2 instances
You need to be registered as an AWS reserved instance seller.
Why do you need to transfer?
When you no longer need a reserved instance due to infrastructure changes, such as changing the instance’s family or downgrading it, transferring the reserved instance ensures you won’t pay for unused resources.
How it works
We scan your AWS account hourly. If we detect underutilization in a reserved instance we purchased for you, we create a sell recommendation in the Milkstraw AI app dashboard.
When you approve the recommendation, we list the instance in the AWS reserved instances marketplace and purchase it from another Milkstraw AI customer’s AWS account.
Is it secure?
we don’t share user or account data between users. The transfer process happens through the aws reserved instance marketplace apis.
