Private Cloud Pricing & Negotiated Discounts
Cloud costs represent a significant portion of your operating budget, and optimizing these expenses becomes increasingly important as your infrastructure scales. At IAMOPS, we help you maximize your cloud investment by securing custom pricing strategies through direct negotiations with cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. These private pricing agreements are designed specifically for businesses with substantial or predictable usage, offering significantly better terms than standard pay-as-you-go models.
Private cloud pricing refers to discounted, contract-based pricing structures tailored to your organization’s usage volume, growth trajectory, or long-term commitment level. These can include volume-based discounts, multi-year deals, reserved resource pricing, or custom enterprise agreements. By working directly with cloud vendors, IAMOPS helps you unlock these opportunities to reduce costs without sacrificing performance or flexibility.
As recognized AWS and Azure partners with proven expertise in FinOps and vendor negotiations, we offer end-to-end support—from identifying savings opportunities to managing contract execution and optimization. Whether you’re a growing SaaS company or an enterprise managing multi-cloud infrastructure, our team aligns with your team to ensure sustainable, strategic savings. Clients have achieved cost reductions of 20 to over 60 percent on key services while maintaining full access to the infrastructure they need to grow.
IAMOPS Private Pricing Services
Assessment
Spend Analysis & Discount Opportunity
We start by analyzing your historical and projected cloud usage to identify eligibility for custom cloud discounts. Our FinOps team uses tools and billing data to pinpoint areas where private pricing can deliver maximum savings. We assess your spend across services, teams, and products, and examine existing discount coverage such as Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. Understanding these patterns helps us identify which services and workloads can benefit from long-term pricing strategies and commitment-based savings.
What we assess:
- Monthly and annual cloud spend
- Usage trends by service, team, or product
- Current discount coverage (e.g., RIs, SPs)
- Forecasted growth patterns
- Long-term cloud commitments and existing usage trends to identify potential savings through private pricing
- High-demand services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, and CDN to secure custom discounts on frequently used resources, achieving cost reductions of over 50% on certain services
- Storage and data transfer costs, ensuring pricing adjustments on critical services
- Compute-heavy workloads, including Kubernetes (EKS) and containerized services
- Multi-region and multi-AZ operations to negotiate regional pricing benefits
