AWS: Investigate Saving Plans purchases #7074

we had multiple conversations about this.

We should take a look at saving plans for either AWS Compute in general or specifically EC2 instances family so we can potentially purchase them in early 2025.

I've pinged a few folks who are knowledgeable in this area (spot, compute savings plans, etc.)

@bryantbiggs Thank you! I think we have time to have a long conversation (arm64 scheduling, mix nodepools, etc...) about this and ensure we can buy on Jan 2025 or sooner.
