  • Start with free credits: programs like PoC, WAFR, MAP, and Startup to get early-stage funding
  • Spot Instances: The quickest major saving 70–90% off without long-term commitments
  • Commitment programs: Reserved Instances, Savings Plans (20–72%), and Enterprise Discount Programs (5–15%)
  • Free Tier & promo credits help new accounts save 5–20% instantly. To qualify for large credits, AWS expects a credible growth roadmap, partner referrals, and active workloads
  • Optimisation can slash spending by 10–75% before any purchases
  • Premier AWS Partners (like Spendbase) are exempt from VAT, saving 20–30% on your bills
  • Combine credits, spot instances, optimise, and commit to the right strategies at the right time for best results
