📢 AWS Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Changes for 2025

AWS Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Policy Changes – What This Means for Pump Customers

As you may be aware, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced upcoming changes to its Reserved Instance (RI) and Savings Plan (SP) policies, effective June 1, 2025. These changes primarily affect how Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Solution Providers, and resellers share commitments across multiple customer accounts.

At Pump, we understand that any change in the AWS landscape can raise questions. We want to assure you that Pump customers are well-positioned and will experience no disruption due to these policy updates. AWS is reinforcing that RIs and SPs are intended for a single-end customer's AWS usage. This means sharing RI and SP commitments across multiple customer accounts will no longer be permitted.

Why Pump Customers Are Protected

Pump's commitment management strategy has always been aligned with AWS's best practices for RI and SP usage. We don't rely on sharing commitment pools, and here's why that's good news for you:

• Full Control and Transparency: You maintain complete control over your commitments and have direct visibility into your savings. You know exactly what you own and how it benefits you.

• Direct Alignment with AWS Policies: Our approach ensures you are fully compliant with AWS policies, eliminating any risk of non-compliance due to these changes.

• Zero Disruption: Because we don't rely on shared commitments, you won't experience any service interruptions or need to make changes to your current setup. It's business as usual.

• Customer-Centric Savings: Every RI and SP purchased/managed through Pump is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring maximum cost efficiency without compromising policy compliance.

What This Means for You: Peace of Mind

• No action is required on your part. You can continue to leverage the cost-saving benefits of RIs and SPs through Pump with complete confidence.

• You are already compliant. Our existing practices align with the updated AWS policies.

• You can focus on your business. We'll continue to manage your commitments efficiently and transparently, allowing you to concentrate on your core objectives.

If you have any questions or concerns about these AWS policy changes, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Pump account manager or [email protected]. We're here to help you navigate the cloud landscape with confidence.
