Cost Management for other clouds
Cost Management for AWS costs using Connector for AWS
Cost Management for AWS is charged at 1% of the total AWS managed spend. Every month, you will be charged 1% of your previous month’s AWS costs under management. The charges will be pro-rated for the first month of service and will renew monthly at the beginning of each month. The service renews every month, and you may cancel subsequent renewals at any time. Accessing AWS APIs may incur additional costs.
Examples:
- If you begin the service on 10 Jan, you will be charged two thirds of the 1% of January’s AWS costs under management in February.
- If you cancel auto-renewal on 15 April, you will have continued service till 30 April, and the service will be cancelled on 1 May. You will receive an invoice of 1% of your April AWS costs under management in May.
