AWS Discounts and Cost Optimization: How to Save Up to 40% on Your AWS Bill with Easy-IT

AWS Discounts and Cost Optimization — Complete Guide

Cloud computing gives flexibility, but AWS costs often grow faster than expected. Many companies pay 20–40% more simply because they don’t use available discounts or optimization tools.

This guide explains how AWS pricing works, what types of discounts you can get, and how proper cost optimization can significantly reduce your monthly bill.

Whether you manage a small SaaS startup or an enterprise infrastructure, understanding AWS discounts and optimization strategies helps you:

  • Cut unnecessary spending.
  • Improve efficiency and performance.
  • Gain predictability in your cloud budget.

At the end, you’ll also see how Easy-IT — an official AWS reseller — can combine partner discounts and DevOps optimization to deliver maximum savings without compromising stability or support.

Understanding How AWS Pricing Works

AWS uses a pay-as-you-go model — you pay only for what you use. The problem is that most environments are over-provisioned or under-optimized, which leads to hidden costs.

Main AWS cost drivers:

  • Compute (EC2, Lambda, ECS): charged by instance type, region, and usage hours.
  • Storage (S3, EBS, Glacier): charged by GB stored and data retrieval frequency.
  • Databases (RDS, DynamoDB): depend on engine type, storage size, and I/O operations.
  • Data transfer: outbound traffic between regions or the public internet can become a major expense.

Common reasons for overspending:

  • Running test or dev instances 24/7.
  • Overestimating capacity and choosing too large instance types.
  • Not using available Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.
  • Poor lifecycle management for snapshots and unused storage.

Understanding these pricing mechanisms is the foundation for applying discounts and optimization strategies that can reduce your AWS bill by 20–40%.

Main Types of AWS Discounts (and How Easy-IT Helps You Access Them)

AWS offers several built-in discount programs that can significantly reduce cloud costs. However, navigating and combining them correctly requires experience. Easy-IT helps companies unlock these discounts and manage them efficiently through its AWS reseller program.

1. Savings Plans

Commit to a consistent amount of compute usage for 1–3 years and get up to 72% savings compared to on-demand prices.
Easy-IT advantage: we analyze your workloads and recommend the optimal mix of Compute and EC2 Savings Plans. You avoid over-commitment and get better rates thanks to our partner discounts.

2. Reserved Instances (RI)

Reserve specific EC2 instance types and regions for a term to save up to 75%.
Easy-IT advantage: we handle reservation planning, lifecycle tracking, and resale options to keep your environment flexible.

3. Spot Instances

Use spare AWS capacity for short-term or flexible workloads with discounts up to 90%, but subject to interruption.
Easy-IT advantage: we help integrate Spot Instances safely into auto-scaling groups and DevOps pipelines to maximize savings without risking uptime.

4. Volume Discounts (Tiered Pricing)

As your usage grows, AWS automatically applies lower prices per unit.
Easy-IT advantage: by consolidating your billing under Easy-IT, you benefit from aggregated usage tiers and higher discount brackets than standalone accounts.

5. Enterprise Discount Program (EDP)

Available for high-spending customers who commit to multi-year AWS consumption targets.
Easy-IT advantage: we negotiate with AWS on your behalf, help structure EDP agreements, and manage compliance and reporting.

Through Easy-IT’s partner framework, clients gain access to the same AWS infrastructure and support, but with better pricing, flexible invoicing in PLN/EUR/USD, and personalized cost-optimization guidance — without changing any of their AWS setups.

AWS Cost Optimization Techniques (Powered by Easy-IT DevOps Expertise)

Discounts alone are not enough. Real savings come from continuous cost optimization — monitoring, adjusting, and automating how cloud resources are used. Easy-IT combines DevOps engineering and AWS billing expertise to help you achieve this balance.

1. Rightsizing and Auto-Scaling

Analyze CPU, memory, and network utilization to eliminate underused resources. Implement auto-scaling so instances run only when needed.
Easy-IT support: our DevOps team reviews CloudWatch metrics and recommends the optimal instance families and sizes.

2. Smart Scheduling

Turn off non-production environments during nights or weekends. Automate start/stop cycles through Lambda or CloudFormation scripts.
Easy-IT support: we design automation policies that can cut compute costs by 25–30% with zero service impact.

3. Storage Optimization

Move infrequently accessed data from S3 Standard to cheaper S3 IA or Glacier tiers. Clean up unused snapshots and EBS volumes.
Easy-IT support: we configure lifecycle rules and retention policies to ensure compliance and minimal cost.

4. Network and Data Transfer Efficiency

Reduce inter-region and internet egress traffic through better architecture or CloudFront CDN.
Easy-IT support: our architects review data flow maps and propose topology changes that lower outbound costs.

5. License Optimization (BYOL)

For Windows Server, SQL Server, and other licensed software, bring your own license to cut recurring AWS license fees.
Easy-IT support: we verify license eligibility and track compliance through the AWS License Manager.

6. Continuous Monitoring and Cost Governance

Use AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, and third-party analytics to track spend by service, project, or team.
Easy-IT support: clients receive monthly optimization reports with actionable insights and saving recommendations.

With Easy-IT, cost optimization becomes an automated, data-driven process — not a one-time audit. The result: up to 40% lower total AWS spend without compromising performance or reliability.

Partner Discounts and Reseller Benefits with Easy-IT
