On demand

Answer in brief

On demand means you start a machine when you want it and stop it when you are done, paying only for the time it ran.

On demand in practice

An on-demand machine cannot be taken back while it runs, and there is no term to buy. It is the price this site lists, because it is the only one that compares across providers without reading the terms.

Interruptible and reserved prices are lower for a reason. One can be taken back, and the other must be bought ahead.
