>” Or maybe they have some special agreement with much lower prices than market.” These exist and falls under the “Enterprise Discount Program”, but there are other PPAs (Private Pricing Addendum). The idea with EDP is if you have qualifying on-demand use that not covered by a Savings Plan or Reserved Instance, you instead get the EDP discount applied to the line item. Where I work is actively renegotiating its EDP discount. Right now we get 14% off for applicable on-demand usage. There are also other programs. Such as the “Amazon Partner Network” “Workload Migration Program” (APN WMP) for SAAS companies, which are credits (lump sum, not per line item) that are awarded for moving customers to your SAAS products that are hosted on AWS infrastructure. These are big 6-digit chunks for us. Many other credits and programs as well.
