Where can I get $10k AWS credits?

My cloud hosting costs on AWS have been rising and I was wondering if there's a way to lower it. I read that AWS offers credits to offset these costs? How can I get them? I've seen $5k around but what about $10k?

Yes that's correct, AWS has a program where they give out credits to lower hosting costs. This program is called the AWS Activate program, and it's mainly for startups.

If you have a fast growing startup with an innovative technology solution, you can opt to apply to be part of their program. Usually AWS gives out $1,000 in credits for new applications (not associated with an organization or VC firm).

If you're a BEAMSTART member, you can opt to receive up to $10,000 in AWS credits provided you meet the eligibility requirements.

Alternatively, you can also check out other cloud providers like Digital Ocean (they have $20k credits too) to reduce your hosting costs.
