@offerings = $ec2->describe_reserved_instances_offerings(@offering_ids)

@offerings = $ec2->describe_reserved_instances_offerings(%args)

This method returns a list of the reserved instance offerings currently available for purchase. The arguments allow you to filter the offerings according to a variety of filters.

All arguments are optional. If no named arguments are used, then the arguments are treated as Reserved Instance Offering IDs.

                                   instance offering IDs

 -instance_type                   The instance type on which the
                                   reserved instance can be used,
                                   e.g. "c1.medium"

                                   reserved instance can be used.

 -product_description             The reserved instance description.
                                   Valid values are "Linux/UNIX",

This can be combined with the Offering purchase() method as shown here:

 @offerings = $ec2->describe_reserved_instances_offerings(
          {'availability-zone'   => 'us-east-1a',
           'instance-type'       => 'c1.medium',
           'product-description' =>'Linux/UNIX',
           'duration'            => 31536000,  # this is 1 year
           });
 $offerings[0]->purchase(5) and print "Five reserved instances purchased\n";

Purchase one or more reserved instances based on an offering.

Arguments:

 -reserved_instances_offering_id, -id -- The reserved instance offering ID
                                         to purchase (required).

                                          to 1).

Returns a Reserved Instances Id on success, undef on failure. Also see the purchase() method of VM::EC2::ReservedInstance::Offering.

@res_instances = $ec2->describe_reserved_instances(@res_instance_ids)

@res_instances = $ec2->describe_reserved_instances(%args)

This method returns a list of the reserved instances that you currently own. The information returned includes the type of instances that the reservation allows you to launch, the availability zone, and the cost per hour to run those reserved instances.
