AWS RI/SP compliance program

RI and SP Compliance Program for AWS Resellers

Beginning June 1, 2025, AWS Resellers who share Reserved Instances and Savings Plans amongst multiple end customers could lose related revenue. Archera helps AWS Partners of all sizes transition customers to compliant strategies and new commitment-based revenue.

Insurance for flexibility

Insurance for RI/SP flexibility and resell margin

Archera delivers flexibility to the standard one and three-year terms of AWS Savings Plans and Reserved Instances through Guaranteed Commitments, with guaranteed money back in the case of underutilization.

We’ll work with you to transition your customers away from discount sharing and EC2 RI Marketplace resale and deliver new revenue from a share of Guaranteed Commitment premiums.
