Flexsave for Amazon Web Services

Flexsave delivers the equivalent savings of applicable AWS 1-year discount rates for compute.

  • No commitment — AWS provides cloud-compute discounts with mandatory commitment periods lasting one year or more. Flexsave provides the same cloud-compute discounts with no commitments.

  • No risk — Flexsave automatically applies discount mechanisms to cover your eligible workloads that are not covered by your own RIs or SPs. We handle capacity planning and optimization.

  • Easy to use — Flexsave runs on auto-pilot, continually applying the optimum cost-saving strategy to your account.

Capabilities​

Flexsave monitors the usage of your on-demand resources and adjusts the mix of discount mechanisms to maximize your potential savings. Depending on you account type, you get different Flexsave capabilities.

Account types​

As a DoiT Cloud Advantage customer, you have a resold account that is paid by a DoiT reseller payer account. The resold account has two sub types:

  • Consolidated resold account: Your account is a member of one of the three DoiT consolidated billing accounts (payer account ID 561602220360, 017920819041, or 279843869311).

  • Dedicated resold account: Your account is on a DoiT reseller payer account other than the three consolidated accounts listed above.

Consolidated resold accounts​

  • Supported regions: all available regions

  • Supported services: Amazon EC2

  • Supported operating systems: Linux, Windows (including Microsoft SQL Server)

Services not listed above are not eligible for Flexsave, including AWS Fargate, AWS Lambda, VMware Cloud on AWS, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon RDS, and Amazon SageMaker.

Dedicated resold accounts​

Services not listed above are not eligible for Flexsave, including VMware Cloud on AWS, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon RedShift, and Amazon OpenSearch.

Instance eligibility​

  • If you have a consolidated resold account, Flexsave allocates capacity for the current month based on utilization during the last 7 days of the previous month. Instances that run for ~90% during that period qualify for Flexsave discount. Bear in mind that you only have access to the Flexsave services supported for consolidated resold accounts.

  • If you have a dedicated resold account, to meet the qualification criteria, you must maintain a spend across supported SKUs of at least US$1 per hour over the past 7 days.

Activate Flexsave​

Flexsave is available to DoiT Cloud Advantage customers (when DoiT is your cloud reseller), who are automatically opted-in to Flexsave.

  • Flexsave is activated as soon as there are sufficient eligible workloads that are not covered by your own RIs or SPs.

  • Flexsave remains disabled if you have turned it off.

You can open a support request at any time to disable Flexsave.
