# AWS User Prerequisite

This is a pre-requisite to be part of [Reyki AI Network (RAIN)](/reyk-ai-docs/faqs.md#what-is-reyki-ai-network-rain), which affords an additional 10%  savings.

### Reyki AI Consolidated Billing (Join Reyki AI Cloud Org)

For AWS customers who have opted for [Consolidated Billing](/reyk-ai-docs/finops-features/consolidated-billing.md) and joined Reyki AI's cloud organization, we will assume the responsibility of billing operations. That is, you will pay all AWS cloud bills to Reyki AI who will in turn pay it to AWS. Learn about [AWS Organizations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_introduction.html).

{% hint style="info" %}
**All of your cloud usage and cost data will still be visible to you in your own cloud account and dashboards (e.g. AWS Cost Explorer, etc.).** 
{% endhint %}

Reyki AI has billings-layer integrations and automations in place with cloud service providers to ensure that we are never delinquent on your bills owed to them.

At the end of every month, you will be billed by Reyki AI for your total cloud spend across all of the services you've used for that month. That bill will be broken down by service line items. It will also include any potential credits accrued and applied to that month. Historical billing statements can be viewed per month. Because you are inside of Reyki AI cloud organization,  the Reyki AI service fee will be consolidated and be visible as part of your overall single bill. See [pricing plans](/reyk-ai-docs/pricing.md) for more details.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The** **month-end cloud bill net balance must be paid no later than 5 business days after invoicing**.
{% endhint %}

Here is an example of a month-end cloud bill that Reyki AI customers receive. All numbers are purely for illustration purposes only.

**Example: August 1 - August 31, 2023 Total AWS Cloud Bill**

| Date      | Item                                   | Owed        |
| --------- | -------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| 8/31/2023 | Cost of RIs for August                 | $1,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | EC2                                    | $3,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | RedShift                               | $2,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | S3                                     | $3,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | SageMaker                              | $4,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | CloudFront                             | $5,000      |
| 8/31/2023 | Reyki AI Service Fee                   | $200        |
|           | **Statement Balance Ending 8/31/2023** | **$17,200** |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Reyki AI does not mark up the costs of any cloud service usages**. You can always verify by comparing costs and usage between Reyki AI dashboards against your cloud provider's first-party data.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**If you join Reyki AI's cloud organization in the middle of the month**, you will receive two cloud invoices for that month. The first invoice will be from AWS for the usage before you joined Reyki AI, and the second invoice will be from Reyki AI for the usage after you joined. For all following months, you will just receive a single invoice from Reyki AI.
{% endhint %}

### Manage Your own AWS Billing (Outside [RAIN](/reyk-ai-docs/faqs.md#what-is-reyki-ai-network-rain))

AWS customers can still use Reyki AI solutions without being inside [Reyki AI Network (RAIN)](/reyk-ai-docs/faqs.md#what-is-reyki-ai-network-rain). In this case, you will receive your AWS bill as usual from AWS. And you will receive a separate Reyki AI monthly invoice for the service due to Reyki AI for optimizing your overall cloud costs. See [pricing plans](/reyk-ai-docs/pricing.md) for more details.
