To access the AWS Discount and Credit Manager within the UX1 Control Panel, the following steps and requirements apply:

Prerequisites

• You must purchase the AWS Discount and Credit Management service plan.

  • L2 resellers can purchase the plan directly once it is published in UX1.

  • L1 resellers can also purchase the plan on behalf of their L2 resellers.

Once the APS is deployed and the service plan has been purchased, resellers will see the AWS Discount and Credit Management option in the left-hand menu of the UX1 control panel:

How to access and configure

2. Click AWS Discount and Credit Management in the left-hand menu.
