Alibaba Cloudから以下のメッセージが届きました。
| Dear customers, Starting from May 7, 2023 00:00 (UTC+8) (“Effective Date”), Alibaba Cloud will offer reduced prices for a variety of cloud services of certain specifications sold on the Alibaba Cloud Platform (URL: www.alibabacloud.com), mainly for regions within the Chinese mainland. The applicable cloud services include Elastic Compute Service (ECS), ApsaraDB RDS, Web Application Firewall (WAF), Server Load Balancer (SLB), and NAT Gateway. The price reduction policy applies only to orders generated after the Effective Date, including new purchases and renewals, which should be made at the public list prices and discounts on Alibaba Cloud Platform based on specific billing methods and purchase durations. The eligible cloud services that were purchased before Effective Date will be billed at the reduced prices after the Effective Date. If you have entered into an offline purchase agreement with Alibaba Cloud before the Effective Date, for eligible cloud services, you will be charged at the prices as specified in such agreement or at the new reduced prices, whichever is lower. Please note that the price reduction policy does not apply to Alibaba Cloud’s distributors and resellers and their customers in certain cases. For details of the price reduction policy, please see the attachment or contact your account manager or submit a ticket. Alibaba Cloud reserves all the right for the final explanation of this price reduction policy.

中国本土を含んでECSやRDS、WAF、SLB、NATなどの値下げが2023年5月日 00:00 (UTC+8nなので日本だと時間の時差あり）提供されるとのこと。
この値下げに関する公式のアナウンスはこちら
5月7日になったらまたどれくらい値下げされているのか確認してみたいと思います。 気がかりというか考えても仕方のないことなのですがこないだReserved Instance 3年を買ったばかりでこれに救済措置的なものがあるのかどうか。 上記の案内文だと値下げは最大47%とのことなので本当に47%もECSが値下げされるとなるとReserved Instanceの効果が無くなりそうだなと。この点もまた確認したあとにこちらの記事を更新しようと思います。
以上
