Joining via CTA

Some customers have organizational or security constraints that require a different onboarding path. In these cases, we can onboard via a Consent to Assign (CTA) agreement. A CTA allows the ownership and billing of the AWS management account to be assigned to Pump so we can fully manage billing and savings on your behalf.

Step 1: Discovery

Pump will first review your setup on a discovery call to confirm whether CTA is the right fit. This option is available at Pump’s discretion and not offered to all customers.

During this step, you’ll deploy a read-only stack and run a savings estimate to evaluate the potential value of joining Pump.

Step 2: CTA

Once you’re ready to move forward, Pump will share the CTA agreement.

As part of this process:

  • You’ll update the root user email address of the AWS management account to a Pump-provided address.

  • Pump will update the billing details of the management account.

Step 3: Onboarding

You’ll deploy the autopilot stack to allow Pump access to billing and savings optimization.

That’s it! Pump takes it from there 🚀

After the CTA is completed, your AWS account will show a distributor discount in the AWS console. This is a standard AWS construct that’s only available when working with an AWS Partner like Pump.

Importantly:

  • This distributor discount is not a separate discount provided to customers.

  • The discount primarily goes to our distributor, Ingram Micro , with a portion flowing back to Pump.

  • Your pricing, savings, and billing with Pump remain exactly as agreed. There is no impact to your usage, invoices, or transparency. To see the accurate balance, exclude the distributor discount.
