What discount are enterprises actually getting on AWS EDPs, Azure MACCs, and GCP CUDs? This report — built from 300+ real enterprise cloud commitment contracts — gives you the benchmark data hyperscalers don't want you to have.
Every hyperscaler — AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — operates a commitment discount program with almost no published pricing. AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP), Azure Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), and GCP Committed Use Discounts (CUD) are all structured to give each enterprise the minimum discount the market will bear. Without peer benchmark data, you are negotiating blind.
The Cloud Infrastructure Pricing Index is built from 300+ real enterprise cloud commitment contracts submitted to VendorBenchmark's platform under NDA. It shows, by commitment tier and industry sector, exactly what discount percentages enterprises are achieving — and where the achievable range actually is for your spend level.
If your board has asked whether your cloud commitment is optimized, or if your IT sourcing team is preparing for an AWS, Azure, or GCP renewal, this is the primary data source you need before entering negotiations.
Here are three findings that illustrate why enterprises with cloud commitments need this data before their next renewal window:
The following data is drawn from our report's summary table — showing median and achievable discount ranges by provider and commitment tier. Full percentile data (P10, P25, median, P75, P90) by industry and contract term is available in the full report.
| Provider | Program | Commitment Tier | Median Discount | Top-Quartile Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS | EDP | $1M – $5M annually | 8% | 12% – 18% |
| AWS | EDP | $5M – $25M annually | 16% | 22% – 32% |
| AWS | EDP | $25M+ annually | 24% | 30% – 45% |
| Azure | MACC | $1M – $5M annually | 10% | 14% – 22% |
| Azure | MACC | $5M – $25M annually | 19% | 25% – 35% |
| Azure | MACC | $25M+ annually | 28% | 34% – 48% |
| GCP | CUD / CUDS | $1M – $5M annually | 9% | 13% – 20% |
| GCP | CUD / CUDS | $5M – $25M annually | 17% | 23% – 34% |
Note: Discount ranges reflect effective discounts against cloud provider list pricing as of Q4 2025 – Q1 2026 contract data. Industry-sector breakdowns and full percentile distributions are in the full report.
The Cloud Infrastructure Pricing Index is used by enterprise FinOps leads, cloud architects, IT sourcing directors, and CFOs managing significant cloud commitments. It is particularly valuable at three points in the cloud commitment lifecycle: before an initial EDP/MACC/CUD negotiation, 6–12 months before renewal, and during competitive re-evaluation when a new hyperscaler is being considered as an alternative.
PE operating partners use the report as a standard due diligence tool when assessing portfolio company cloud costs. It is increasingly used alongside VendorBenchmark's commitment optimization use case — see our Cloud Commitment Optimization use case guide for how the benchmark data integrates into an end-to-end optimization program.
For enterprise teams managing AWS specifically, see the AWS Pricing Benchmark profile for detailed EDP structure analysis. For Azure commitment optimization, the Azure Pricing Benchmark profile covers MACC vs. EA economics in depth. Google Cloud teams should review the Google Cloud Pricing Benchmark profile for CUD and Committed Use discount analysis.
