In many organizations, AWS Marketplace purchases are lumped into a single consolidated billing line without visibility into individual vendors. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to identify which Marketplace spend is eligible to count toward the EDP cap. As a result, teams may either overspend on direct AWS services to fulfill their commitment unnecessarily or miss the opportunity to right-size new commitments based on existing Marketplace purchases. In both cases, the absence of vendor-level detail hinders optimization.
Marketplace spend is billed via AWS and may count toward EDP commitments—but only specific vendors and SKUs qualify. Additionally, Marketplace purchases that *do* count are capped at contributing no more than 25% of the total EDP commitment. Without detailed billing data, it's difficult to determine how much of the spend is eligible, leading to inaccurate forecasting and underutilized discounts.
