CoreStack and Archera Partner to Turn Cloud Optimization Into a Growth Engine
Partners Can Now Unlock Demand and Fund Transformation With Integrated Assessments and Commitment-Based Savings
BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / CoreStack, the global leader in AI-powered multi-cloud governance, and Archera, the only provider of flexible cloud commitment automation and insurance, today announced a strategic alliance that reimagines how cloud partners surface opportunities and secure funding for customer innovation.Archera and CoreStack Partnership CoreStack and Archera Better Together
The partnership combines CoreStack's comprehensive governance and assessment frameworks with Archera's automated cloud discount lifecycle management - enabling a complete insight-to-execution workflow for cloud cost optimization across AWS and Azure. Together, they remove two of the most persistent blockers for cloud service providers and their customers: identifying optimization opportunities and funding their execution without disrupting infrastructure or increasing risk.
'FinOps maturity has evolved - it's now a business lever to act with intelligence and speed,' said Suren Singh, CRO of CoreStack. 'Together with Archera, we're helping enterprises govern costs more strategically, act faster, and turn efficiency into real business impact.'
From WAFRs to Wallets: A Fully Integrated Optimization Lifecycle
Cloud partners - including MSPs, consultants, GSIs, and distributors - often surface valuable optimization opportunities through frameworks like WAFRs, FTRs, and custom best-practice assessments. However, the budget to act on those findings can be elusive. That's where this collaboration excels.
CoreStack provides deep, automated insight into a customer's multi-cloud environment - from cost efficiency to security and performance. Archera complements this with a no-cost platform that automates the purchase, modification, and protection of cloud commitments. Customers gain instant savings of up to 70% - not through complex architectural changes, but through intelligent financial optimization.
Archera's flexible commitment model shrinks lock-in periods from three years to as little as 30 days and includes optional commitment insurance. This enables customers to capture discounts even for unpredictable or short-lived workloads, such as generative AI training runs, temporary R&D environments or cloud migrations.
'CoreStack's assessment and governance capabilities make them a natural fit as an Archera Partner,' said Aran Khanna, CEO of Archera.' By combining their multi-cloud visibility with our insured commitment execution, we're helping organizations and partners drive cost efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and fund modernization immediately.'
Driving Business Value Across the Cloud Lifecycle
This joint solution is already accelerating time-to-value for partners by enabling them to:
Crucially, it helps end customers turn cost savings into reinvestment - funding modernization, AI adoption or additional managed services, all while reducing operational risk.
Customers with transient, R&D-heavy or unpredictable usage patterns - previously shut out of commitment-based savings - can now participate in a smarter, more flexible cloud economy.

Google's AI CEO explains why he's not interested in taking LSD in his quest to understand 'the nature of reality'
Demis Hassabis prefers gaming over acid trips. The Google DeepMind CEO said he's never taken LSD and doesn't want to. In a recent interview with Wired's Steven Levy, the AI boss was asked about his pursuit of understanding the "nature of reality," as his X bio states. More specifically, Hassabis was asked if acid had ever helped him get a glimpse of the nature of reality. The short answer is no. "I didn't do it like that," Hassabis said. "I just did it through my gaming and reading a hell of a lot when I was a kid, both science fiction and science." Hassabis set out as a child to understand the universe better, and the quest is ongoing. He's hoping AI and, eventually, artificial general intelligence will help reach his goal. While some tech leaders have talked about using psychedelics, Hassabis said he's "too worried about the effects on the brain." "I've sort of finely tuned my mind to work in this way," he said. "I need it for where I'm going." Google DeepMind is the research lab behind the company's AI projects, including chatbot Gemini. Hassabis is leading Google's charge toward the AI race's holy grail — AGI. Google DeepMind didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Over the years, Silicon Valley has embraced the use of psychedelics, such as microdosing to improve productivity or going on ayahuasca retreats. Some investors have banked on their popularity, backing psychedelic startups that are seeking to turn the drugs into medical treatments or expand the industry in other ways. However, that's not a green light to take acid or magic mushrooms on the clock. In 2021, CEO Justin Zhu, cofounder and CEO of a startup called Iterable, said he was fired for microdosing LSD before a meeting. He hoped it would improve his focus, he said. Some of Hassabis's tech peers have been open about using LSD as established bosses or as college students. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, for example, took acid for the first time as a teenager, according to his memoir, " Source Code: My Beginnings." For Gates, dropping acid was exhilarating at first and a "cosmic" experience when he did it again. However, he ended up thinking his brain could delete his memories like a computer. "That would be one of the last times I would do LSD," Gates said. It didn't have that effect on Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, who told his biographer, Walter Isaacson, that it was "a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life." OpenAI's Sam Altman has also spoken positively about his experience with psychedelics. Although he didn't specify exactly what drug he took, he said it changed him from a "very anxious, unhappy person" to "calm." "If you had told me that, like, one weekend-long retreat in Mexico was going to significantly change that, I would have said absolutely not," Altman said. "And it really did." For Hassabis, he's seeking other ways to find answers to life's deepest questions. "We don't know what the nature of time is, or consciousness and reality," he told Wired. "I don't understand why people don't think about them more. I mean, this is staring us in the face."
