Hi HN,

I'm Khursheed, former head of AWS Storage Devices and EC2 Capacity Products. After watching customers overpay for years, I built Cloudidr to solve the on-demand pricing problem.

The model: We buy Reserved Instance capacity in bulk from AWS, then resell it with no commitment required. Simple arbitrage. Customers get 30-50% off on-demand rates, we keep the margin.

The technical bit: Compute appears directly in YOUR AWS account, not ours. We transfer our pre-purchased capacity into your account. You manage it with your IAM, VPC, security groups. We never touch your infrastructure or data.

Setup takes 15 minutes. No migration. No re-platforming. Just cheaper AWS.

Why AWS allows this: They get guaranteed utilization through our Reserved Instance purchases. We take the risk of finding customers. Like airlines working with consolidators.

Trade-offs: - Limited instance types (we buy what has best margins) - Minimum 1-hour usage - Not for true spot-level workloads

Who it's for: Indie hackers wanting real AWS instead of PaaS platforms. Startups burning cash on on-demand. Anyone running batch jobs, AI training, dev/test environments.

Pricing example: G6xlarge at $0.56/hr (vs $0.80 AWS on-demand).

Happy to get you going with a free trial.

Happy to answer questions about the arbitrage model, AWS integration, or anything else.
