“It makes me look so good in front of my CFO. When he [CFO] sees the savings in our AWS monthly bill, he thinks that it is me who is working hard on driving the costs down and increasing efficiency of the company’s infrastructure. I get all the credit for all the hard work you guys are putting in.”
CIO of F500 company
19 price cuts in last 5 years

AWS Pricing Philosophy
Pay as you go• No minimum commitments or long-term contracts required• Capex -> Opex• Turn off when you don’t need it
Pay less per unit when you use more• Tiered Pricing and Volume Discounts
Pay even less when you reserve • Reserved pricing
Pay even less as AWS grows• Efficiencies, optimizations and economies of scale result in passing the
savings back to you in the form of lower pricing
Custom Pricing
