A software development company is migrating its infrastructure to AWS. The company has existing on-premises licenses for a third-party database administration tool that they want to continue using in their new AWS environment without paying additional licensing fees. Additionally, the company wants to procure a new security monitoring tool from a different third-party vendor, but needs to negotiate custom pricing and contract terms instead of using standard list prices. Both software solutions must be billed through their consolidated AWS invoice. Which TWO AWS Marketplace features or options should the company use to meet these requirements?
- Bring Your Own License (BYOL) to deploy the existing database tool without purchasing new licensesAnswer
- Seller Private Offers to purchase the security monitoring tool under custom negotiated terms and pricingAnswer
- CAWS Enterprise Support to troubleshoot internal errors of the database tool, because AWS handles technical support for all third-party software run on AWS
- DAWS Marketplace BYOL subscriptions to automatically convert their capital expense (CapEx) database licenses into operating expenses (OpEx)
- EAWS Systems Manager to automatically deploy security patches and operating system updates to SaaS products in AWS Marketplace
Answer
The company should use Bring Your Own License (BYOL) to run their existing database tool licenses on AWS, and use Seller Private Offers to buy the security monitoring tool under negotiated custom pricing and terms.
The correct options are Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Seller Private Offers. Bring Your Own License (BYOL) allows organizations to deploy third-party software in AWS using their existing on-premises software licenses, avoiding new software costs. Seller Private Offers enable customers to negotiate custom pricing, payment terms, and custom license agreements with third-party software sellers, with all charges consolidated directly into their monthly AWS invoice.
