Frequently asked questions

How is Elastic Load Balancing priced?

Every ALB, NLB, and GLB bills an hourly fee plus capacity units (LCUs) that meter new connections, active connections, processed bytes, and rule evaluations — whichever dimension is highest. Idle load balancers still bill every hour, so unused ALBs in dev accounts are a classic cleanup win.

Which AWS services can actually be negotiated?

List prices are fixed, but committed-spend vehicles are not: EDP discount tiers, Savings Plans strategy, Reserved Instance portfolios, migration (MAP) credits, and support-tier fees all move under negotiation. Our service pricing guides show the levers per service; the negotiation services pages show how to pull them together.

Where should a cost review start across AWS services?

Start where the money concentrates: compute (EC2, Lambda, Fargate), then data transfer, then storage and databases. A typical enterprise bill hides 20–40% addressable spend across those four categories before any negotiation with AWS even begins.

How do these pricing guides relate to an EDP negotiation?

Service-level optimization sets your true baseline; the EDP discount then applies on top of that cleaned-up number. Optimizing after you sign locks the commitment against an inflated baseline — the sequencing is the whole game.
