Questions
Do I need to change my infrastructure to qualify?
No. Your existing AWS setup continues to run as usual. Cost Optimization Reviews and Well-Architected Reviews are advisory and you implement changes on your own timeline.
Is there any cost to access this program?
No. The model is AWS-backed, which means you receive assistance with savings, credits, and support without additional service fees on top of your standard AWS billing.
Can the partner help us get AWS credits?
Yes. The partner team assists companies in applying for AWS credits (initially up to $10,000) and connects qualifying companies with additional AWS funding programs. Approval depends on AWS eligibility criteria.
What kind of savings can we expect?
Savings vary depending on your infrastructure, but Cost Optimization Reviews typically reduce AWS spend by 10-40%. Additional savings come from the 3% AWS usage discount, 50-90% off CloudFront, and 10% off unoptimized EC2 usage, plus the AWS credits themselves.
What kind of support do we receive?
You get direct access to a dedicated AWS-certified Solutions Architect who helps with architecture, scaling, cost optimization, and general AWS questions. Response times average around 90 minutes during business hours, which is faster than standard AWS Business Support tiers.
Who is this best suited for?
Startups and growing companies using AWS, especially those looking to reduce costs or access credits and funding programs. The typical customer profile is a SaaS company between seed and Series B that has real AWS infrastructure and wants expert guidance without hiring a full-time DevOps engineer.
