AWS Billing - How Archera is Billed Through AWS

When you use Archera with AWS, your cloud costs are typically managed by AWS, but Archera enhances this process by helping you optimize and monitor these costs. Here’s how our billing model integrates with AWS:

Archera’s Monthly Premium Billing Model

Archera uses a Monthly Premium-Based Billing Model that aligns with your actual usage and ensures accurate and transparent invoicing. Here’s how it works:

  1. 30-Day Consumption Period: Archera evaluates your usage over a 30-day period to provide a precise breakdown of costs and savings opportunities.

  2. Invoicing: At the end of the 30-day period, Archera issues an invoice in the following month based on your usage. For example, November’s usage is assessed from November 1st to November 30th, and the corresponding invoice is generated and sent in December.

AWS Billing Structure

  • AWS operates on a Pay-as-You-Go model, billing you for the resources you consume (compute, storage, network, etc.) either by the hour or minute, depending on the service.

  • Detailed Cost and Usage Reports are provided by AWS, outlining your consumption and charges.

How Archera Works with AWS Billing

  • Cost Insights: Archera integrates seamlessly with AWS’s billing system to pull detailed usage and cost data, giving you actionable insights into your spending trends.

  • Cost Optimization: Archera analyzes your AWS usage patterns and offers recommendations for right-sizing instances, reallocating resources, or eliminating unused assets to optimize costs.

  • Cost Alerts: Archera allows you to set up alerts for budget thresholds, helping you manage and control your AWS expenses effectively.

How Archera is Billed Through AWS

  1. Direct Billing: You can opt to receive a bill directly from Archera, based on the Monthly Premium Billing Model. To enable this, you’ll need to add a payment method (such as a credit card) directly through Archera’s website in your Organization’s Dashboard.

  2. Billing Integration via AWS Marketplace:

    • If you purchase Archera through the AWS Marketplace, your Archera fees will appear as a line item on your AWS invoice.

    • AWS will collect the charges and remit them to Archera, streamlining the billing process for customers.

Example:

If you sign up for Archera through the AWS Marketplace, your November usage for Archera will be included as a specific line item on your December AWS bill. AWS handles the collection, and Archera receives the payment seamlessly.

This integration ensures a smooth billing experience while providing you with the tools to optimize your AWS cloud costs effectively.
