Frequently asked questions

What does transferring monthly billing to a Mainstream account mean?

Instead of paying AWS directly, your monthly cost on this platform will go through your Mainstream account. This means that the invoices will come from us, and you will have help interpreting the invoices and costs. The transfer of monthly consumption does not imply any additional costs and fees for the user, but it is mandatory to start the AWS Start package and obtain a 3% discount on bills.
I am interested in more information about DevOps and FinOps consulting.

The goal of the AWS Start package is to cover all the key areas of the cloud – through which a startup can improve and further develop its business. All users of this service are entitled to one monthly consultation lasting 1 hour with our DevOps and one with FinOps experts (total duration: 2 hours).
