Unlock the Full Potential of AWS: A Deep Dive into Classmethod Members Service

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides an exceptional platform for innovation; however, managing its costs, security, and operations can be a complex task. Many companies find themselves asking: Are we spending too much? Is our environment secure? Are we using our internal resources efficiently?

At Classmethod, we've helped over 5,000 companies navigate these challenges. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, we've leveraged our extensive experience to deliver a comprehensive solution: Classmethod Members. This service is designed to help you reduce costs, enhance security, and streamline your AWS operations, allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business. 🚀

What is “Classmethod Members”?

Classmethod Members is an all-in-one support service for AWS users. At its core, it includes a free Billing Agency Service that provides significant discounts on your AWS usage, along with technical support and security management tools. Think of it as your expert co-pilot for the AWS cloud, providing the savings, security, and support you need to succeed.

The Core of Our Service: Free Membership Benefits

We believe every AWS user should have access to foundational support and savings. That's why the core of our Members service is completely free and packed with value.

1. Billing Agency & Powerful Discounts

The central feature is our billing agency service, which immediately reduces your cloud spend. When you join, you can choose from one of three powerful discount plans:

Flat Discount Plan: Receive a 7% discount on usage fees for an extensive range of AWS services across all regions. This plan is ideal for users who utilize a wide variety of services within their AWS account.

EC2/CDN Discount Plan: Ideal for workloads concentrated in the Tokyo region, this plan offers an exclusive discount on major EC2 on-demand instances and up to 65% discount on CloudFront outbound communication fees. The discount is applied specifically to usage in the Tokyo region.

Organizations Management Plan: For businesses managing multiple AWS accounts, this plan provides a 4% discount on total usage fees, helping you save while maintaining organizational control.

Don't worry about making the perfect choice upfront. You can change your discount plan later to match your evolving needs, even after becoming a member. If you're unsure which plan is right for you, contact us! We can provide a cost optimization analysis to help you decide.

*Please note that discount conditions may vary across overseas branches.

To simplify your accounting processes, we offer invoicing in Japanese Yen and US Dollars. Additionally, local currency invoicing is available through our international branches; including Euro (Classmethod Europe), Thai Baht (Classmethod Thailand) and Korean Won (Classmethod Korea).
