Question 1

What is Flex Compute and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Flex Compute is our cloud-arbitrage platform that lets you access discounted AWS EC2 instances directly in your existing AWS account. We buy compute capacity in bulk from AWS and pass the savings to you. The instances appear in your account just like any EC2 instance with full IAM, VPC, and security integration.

Question 2

Do I need to change my cloud setup?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything stays in your AWS account with your existing IAM policies, VPC configurations, and security settings. The instances appear directly in your account within 15 minutes with no migration required.

Question 3

Is there a minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

No long-term commitments required. You can use Cloudidr for as little as 1 hour or scale to months of usage. Cancel anytime with no penalties.

Question 4

How much can I actually save?

Accepted Answer

Most customers save 30-50% compared to AWS on-demand pricing, with no platform fees or hidden costs. The exact savings depend on your instance types and usage patterns.

Question 5

How is this different from Reserved Instances or Savings Plans?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Reserved Instances (1-3 year commitments) or Savings Plans (1-3 year commitments with upfront payment), Cloudidr offers similar savings with zero commitment. You get commitment-level pricing with on-demand flexibility.

Question 6

Is this secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The instances run entirely within your AWS account with your existing security controls, IAM roles, and VPC configurations. We never access your data or infrastructure. SOC 2 compliant, HIPAA and GDPR ready.

Question 7

What if I need support?

Accepted Answer

All Cloudidr customers receive 24/7 support. Our team is available to help with setup, troubleshooting, and optimization recommendations.

Question 8

What instance types do you support?

Accepted Answer

We support popular instance families including c5, m6i, g5, g6 and more, ranging from 2vCPU to 64vCPU configurations for both CPU and GPU workloads.

Question 9

Can I use this for production workloads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The instances are real AWS EC2 instances running in your account with the same reliability and performance as any AWS instance. They're suitable for production workloads, AI/ML training, batch processing, and more.

Question 10

How quickly can I start saving?

Accepted Answer

Setup takes approximately 15 minutes. Once configured, discounted instances can be provisioned in your AWS account within minutes and you start saving immediately.
