Yet in the cloud, these license costs have historically been bundled directly into the price of compute instances, making it nearly impossible to see exactly how much you\u2019re paying for software versus infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until recently, Cloudamize followed the industry standard of including license costs within the total cost of compute. Consider this real-world example using a common memory-optimized instance:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The On-Demand cost of an <\/span><b>R7a.4xlarge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> instance with Linux is about <\/span><b>$889\/month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same instance with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is about <\/span><b>$1,015\/month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Windows Server and SQL Server Standard Edition, the price jumps to about <\/span><b>$2,827\/month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In actuality, the base compute cost is identical in all three scenarios \u2014 approximately <\/span><b>$889\/month<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The difference is entirely due to the included licenses: roughly <\/span><b>$126<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for RHEL and <\/span><b>$1,938<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Windows plus SQL Server Standard. This bundling has long hidden the true impact of licensing on your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), especially in Microsoft-centric environments where licenses can represent a substantial portion of your cloud spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Cloudamize Now Delivers Full License Transparency<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cloudamize Console has been updated to clearly separate included license costs from base compute costs. You can now see at a glance exactly how much of each recommended instance\u2019s price is attributable to the operating system and any bundled database licenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3676 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-300x157.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"566\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-300x157.png 300w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-1024x534.png 1024w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-768x401.png 768w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-1536x802.png 1536w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-1568x818.png 1568w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final-383x200.png 383w, http:\/\/cloudamize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/LicensingTransparency_Final.png 1736w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This simple but powerful change gives you unprecedented visibility into your true cloud economics and makes it far easier to identify and act on optimization opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With full visibility into license costs, Cloudamize helps you find practical ways to reduce them during migration or cloud optimization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Automatic Core Optimization Based on Actual Workload<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloudamize calculates the precise number of vCPUs your workloads actually require by analyzing detailed performance metrics collected during the assessment period. The platform then recommends instances sized to those real needs, automatically reducing the number of licensed cores wherever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This optimization applies to both Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and License-Included scenarios (following AWS\u2019s late-2025 enhancements that extended core reduction to License-Included Windows and SQL Server instances). The result is automatic savings \u2014 often 20-50% or more on licensing costs \u2014 simply by paying only for the cores your workloads truly use, while still meeting memory, storage, and network requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a deep dive into how this feature works, including real customer results showing millions in license savings across thousands of servers, see our previous blog post: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudamize.com\/en\/unlocking-cloud-savings-reduce-license-costs-by-optimizing-cores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlocking Cloud Savings: Reduce License Costs by Optimizing Cores<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2.
