SaaS subscription listings on the AWS Marketplace allow software vendors to offer their applications as a service. Customers can easily discover, subscribe to, and manage these SaaS applications within their AWS environment.
Billing is integrated with the customer's AWS account, providing a unified billing experience. Vendors benefit from reduced friction in the sales process, automated onboarding, and the ability to reach a broader audience.
Additionally, the SaaS subscription model in the AWS Marketplace supports metered billing, allowing vendors to charge based on actual usage metrics, offering flexibility to both providers and customers.
SaaS contract listings on the AWS Marketplace allow software vendors to offer their SaaS applications with upfront term-based commitments, typically ranging from one to three years.
This model provides customers with potential cost savings in exchange for longer-term commitments. Within the AWS environment, customers can discover these offerings, negotiate contract terms, and manage their subscriptions. The billing is consolidated with the customer's AWS account, ensuring a streamlined billing experience.
For vendors, SaaS contracts offer a predictable revenue stream, the ability to negotiate custom terms and access to a vast AWS customer base, all while leveraging AWS's infrastructure for seamless deployment and management.
SaaS contract plus consumption listings on the AWS Marketplace allow software vendors to combine the predictability of term-based commitments with the flexibility of usage-based billing.
Customers commit to a baseline contract and are then billed additionally for any consumption beyond the agreed terms. This model offers the best of both worlds: guaranteed revenue for vendors and potential cost savings for customers who anticipate variable usage.
Within their AWS environment, customers can discover these offerings, negotiate contract terms, and monitor their consumption. The billing is integrated with the customer's AWS account, providing a unified view of fixed and variable charges
Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are pre-configured virtual server templates that enable users to quickly launch and run applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
AMI listings in the AWS Marketplace provide a platform for vendors to offer their software and solutions in the form of these ready-to-use images. Customers can search, purchase, and deploy these AMIs directly to their EC2 instances, streamlining the setup process.
Vendors benefit by reaching a global audience on AWS, while customers enjoy a simplified deployment experience, with the added assurance of compatibility and security standards. Billing for software or services associated with an AMI is integrated into the customer's AWS account, offering a consolidated billing experience.
