RI and SP Compliance Program for AWS Resellers
Beginning June 1, 2025, AWS Resellers who share Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans (SPs) amongst multiple end customers could lose related revenue and the ability to deliver the flexibility their customers expect. Archera is working with AWS Partners of all sizes to transition their customers to compliant strategies and deliver new commitment-based revenue streams.
Insurance for RI/SP flexibility and resell margin
Archera delivers flexibility to the standard one and three-year terms of AWS SPs and RIs through the unique financial mechanism of Insured Commitments, providing guaranteed Moneyback in the case of underutilization. We’ll work with you to transition your customers away from discount sharing and EC2 RI Marketplace resale and deliver new revenue from a share of Insured Commitment premiums.
Archera’s unique AWS RI/SP compliance program
Comply with AWS’ 2025 policies while quickly launching a new, low-investment revenue stream:
- Customer obsession: Ensure your customers maintain access to the flexible RI and SP options they want and deliver core cost management and FinOps capabilities via Archera’s free platform.
- No percentage of spend or savings taxes: Archera’s cost management and commitment automation platform is free and installs in minutes — customers pay only if they choose to insure a RI or SP commitment.
- Reduced risk: Archera carries the risk for you and your customers with our Insured Commitments (GSPs and GRIs) that deliver the peace of mind and flexibility of a term as short as 30 days. Archera’s Insured Commitments also backstop any chance of your customers not paying you for unused RIs or SPs.
- Free transition to compliance: At no cost to you, Archera will migrate any customers sharing RIs or SPs under a single payer account or consolidated billing structure to distinct accounts and bespoke purchasing strategies.
- New revenue stream: Archera bills insurance premiums via AWS Marketplace CPPO and provides revenue share with partners on all premiums collected.
