Discounts Reduce Your AWS Bill

Why “AWS Discounts” Often Don’t Reduce the Bill—and How Ours Do

Easy-IT.io passes through partner-level, meter-level discounts and pairs them with Savings Plans/RI and FinOps for measurable AWS cost savings.

The difference between list-price promos and real partner-level discounts

  • Promos vs. usage-based pricing. Many promos touch catalog prices or narrow SKUs; invoices are driven by net usage lines.
  • Narrow scope. Exclusions often hit transfer, storage, databases, or serverless—the real drivers of spend.
  • Non-stacking. If an offer can’t stack with Savings Plans/RI, you forfeit the bigger lever.
  • Friction. Discounts that require workload changes add risk and delays.

Easy-IT.io difference: partner-level, meter-level discounts designed to stack with commitments and optimization—so they show up on the bill you actually pay.

Easy-IT.io Method: Three Levers for Immediate AWS Cost Savings

Partner-level AWS discounts passed through on every eligible service

  • Pass-through model. Attach accounts to our payer to unlock partner-level aws discounts on eligible usage lines.
  • Stacking by design. Coexists with Savings Plans and Reserved Instances.
  • Transparent reporting. List price → discount → effective rate → realized savings.

Right-sizing Savings Plans & Reserved Instances

  • Coverage first. Size commitments to real utilization to avoid over-commit.
  • Flexible mix. Compute SP for breadth; targeted EC2 SP/RI for steady workloads.
  • Pragmatic terms. 1-year for volatility; 3-year for stable fleets; rebalance monthly.

FinOps guardrails that keep your bill down

  • Right-size & remove zombies (EC2/RDS, EBS/ENI/ELB).
  • Storage hygiene (S3 lifecycle, Intelligent-Tiering, snapshot pruning).
  • Data transfer discipline (endpoints, same-AZ, avoid NAT hairpins).
  • Scheduling for dev/test; serverless & container tuning; anomaly alerts.
  • Tagging & showback to sustain savings.

Rapid Wins: 10 Ways to Reduce Your AWS Bill This Quarter

Low-risk, reversible changes that typically show savings in weeks, not months.

Compute & Instances

  • Right-size EC2/RDS; downshift bursty workloads; retire “zombie” resources.
  • Adopt Graviton trials where compatible; move gp2 → gp3 for EBS.
  • Schedule dev/test to shut down off-hours.

Storage Hygiene

  • S3 lifecycle to IA/Glacier; enable Intelligent-Tiering for spiky data.
  • Prune snapshots; eliminate unattached EBS volumes.
  • Review S3 replication and versioning costs.

Data Transfer Discipline

  • Prefer VPC endpoints and same-AZ placement; avoid NAT hairpins.
  • Aggregate/compress egress; consider CloudFront for edge offload.
  • Audit inter-region traffic and cross-AZ chatter.

Commitments That Fit

  • Baseline coverage, then add Savings Plans for breadth.
  • Use targeted RI for steady fleets; revisit monthly.
  • Favor 1-year no/partial upfront unless ROI dictates 3-year.

Serverless & Containers

  • Right-size Lambda memory/timeouts; review provisioned concurrency.
  • Tune EKS/ASG requests/limits; schedule GPU jobs; bin-pack nodes.

Governance & Visibility

  • Enforce cost allocation tags; dashboards per team/service.
  • Enable anomaly detection; weekly variance reviews.
  • Decommission unused ELB/ENI/EIP artifacts.

Credits, Funding, and Programs That May Apply

Credits & Funding

  • Credits for startups or specific initiatives (case-by-case eligibility).
  • Co-marketing or Marketplace incentives that offset spend.
  • Migration or modernization funds tied to measurable milestones.

We assess eligibility and stack with discounts/SP/RI where permitted.

Baseline → Intervention

  • EC2-heavy estate; under-committed; gp2 across the board.
  • Cross-AZ traffic via NAT; idle dev/test across nights/weekends.
  • No cost allocation tags; limited anomaly alerts.

What We Changed

  • Attached to partner payer; discounts applied to eligible meters.
  • Compute SP + targeted RI; monthly coverage review.
  • gp2→gp3, lifecycle rules for S3, off-hours schedules, tagging, alerts.

FAQ: How to Reduce Your AWS Bill With a Reseller

How fast can discounts show up on my invoice?

Typically within the first billing cycle after attachment, subject to eligibility and AWS processing.

Do discounts stack with Savings Plans or RI?

Yes, our model is designed to coexist with SP/RI; we size commitments so stacking lowers the effective rate.

Will you change my infrastructure?

No by default. We operate at the billing layer and propose optimizations you can approve or decline.

Can you reduce data transfer and S3 costs?

We apply routing, placement, and lifecycle policies that typically cut egress and storage by double digits.

Do you offer credits for existing accounts?

Credits are case-by-case. Where available, we map them to the highest-impact services and track realized value.

What reporting do we get?

Monthly savings report: list price → discount → effective rate → realized savings, with variance notes.
