The truth about DoIT’s Flexsave product that every AWS customer needs to know
DoIT’s Flexsave optimization depends on a practice AWS has now explicitly banned: sub-account transfers. This exposes you to compliance violations, account suspension risk, and zero long-term certainty.Cloud Capital delivers guaranteed savings — 100% compliant, in your own accounts, with no smoke and mirrors.

DoIT’s Flexsave works by moving vendor-owned AWS accounts into your Org, applying their RIs/SPs, then pulling them out later.
AWS has confirmed (effective June 1, 2025) that this practice violates their Reserved Instance and Savings Plan T&Cs.
Cloud Capital never touches your Org or injects vendor-owned accounts. We operate with delegated access inside your accounts only.
With DoIT, your discounts sit on shaky ground. With us, your savings are guaranteed and compliant.
Ownership & Control
Hidden Ownership = Zero Control
With Flexsave, the commitments legally belong to DoIT. You’re effectively renting temporary discounts.
Cloud Capital puts commitments directly in your account — fully visible, auditable, and portable.
With DoIT, you don’t own your commitments. If they pull accounts, your “savings” vanish overnight. With us, you stay in control.
Contract
Reputational & Contractual Risk
AWS leadership confirmed in writing: “The purchased RI/SP will need to be used by the intended end customer and its affiliates. If they are sharing with end customers that are not affiliates then it would be in violation of the policy.”
DoIT’s sub-account transfers leave you liable, not them. If AWS audits, your Org is the one in violation.
Cloud Capital’s structure is attested compliant — no workarounds, no recycling accounts.
It’s your name on the AWS bill. Don’t let a vendor’s tricks put your business at risk.
Risk
Transparency vs Black Box
Customers report “mystery accounts” appearing in their Orgs with no workloads — then disappearing as discounts shift.
DoIT offers limited transparency about where commitments are purchased or who legally owns them.
Cloud Capital provides full visibility: every discount, every commitment, every forecast — directly tied to your usage and metrics.
You deserve to know exactly where your savings come from. With us, you do.

FAQ
Isn’t Flexsave just a clever way to save more?
It used to be tolerated. As of June 2025, AWS explicitly banned sub-account transfers. What looks “clever” today is now a policy violation.
How do I know if DoIT is doing this in my Org?
Look for mystery accounts, disappearing discounts, and zero transparency about who owns your commitments. If any of that sounds familiar, you’re exposed.
Could AWS really take action?
Yes. AWS can claw back discounts or suspend accounts for violations. And since the accounts sit in your Org, the risk is on you, not DoIT.
What makes Cloud Capital safer?
Every discount sits in your account, under your entity. No pooled commitments, no account shuffling, no compliance exposure.
