Ask HN: Have you ever renegotiated your AWS contract?
I was reading this article and he mentions that you can renegotiate your AWS contract by as much as 50%:

Has anyone here done that before? How?
What did you need to do/prove to show you needed it dropped?
- Moissanite 4y agoStartups are a specific case where you can get access to rather generous credits (note, not the same as an open-ended discount agreement) for a couple of years. For larger companies operating over the longer term, you would be looking for an EDP agreement, which gives you a discount in exchange for agreeing to a minimum spend threshold over a period of a few years. This would be significantly less than 50%.
- Eighth 4y agoI have with Azure. They can be very generous depending on your company state, investment status, current spend, and your ability to switch to a competitor.
- epberry 4y agoThe main factor is level of spend. If you can commit to spending $1M over the next 2 years AWS will give you big breaks.
