Requires AWS Activate account; buy via AWS Marketplace

Eligibility & conditions

groundcover is an eBPF-based observability platform covering logs, metrics, traces and profiling, deployed without code changes across EKS, EC2 and Lambda. The AWS Activate offer is 25% off the first year of a groundcover subscription purchased through AWS Marketplace. List pricing is $30 per host per month for Pro and $35 for Enterprise, so the discount scales with host count rather than data volume, which is the pitch against per-gigabyte tools. The offer exists only inside AWS Activate; groundcover's own site and pricing page do not mention it anywhere.

  2. Wait for your Activate credits to be issued. The groundcover offer is visible to every credit band including the $1 to $1,000 band, so any approved Activate member qualifies on credit amount.
  3. Sign in at https://startups.aws.com/offers with that same AWS account, then open https://startups.aws.com/offers/groundcover-inc. Without signing in this URL bounces to an AWS login page.
  4. Submit the Easy Apply form on the offer page. groundcover then contacts you to size the subscription by host count.
