Commitment Planner
Commitments sized on real usage, so none of them go to waste.
Commitment Planner reads hourly usage across your estate and recommends AWS Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, Azure reservations and Google committed use discounts that match the steady floor of your usage, not its peaks.
What it does
Built for the engineers who make the change, and the finance team that checks it.
Hourly usage floor
Recommendations are built from the hourly baseline over 30, 60 or 90 days, so the commitment stays fully used.
Every commitment type
Compute and EC2 Savings Plans, RIs for RDS, ElastiCache and OpenSearch, Azure reservations and Google CUDs.
Expiry calendar
Upcoming expiries with renewal suggestions 60 days ahead, so coverage never drops by accident.
Utilisation and coverage
Daily utilisation and coverage for each commitment, with alerts when a commitment starts to go unused.
Scenario planning
Compare one and three year terms and payment options side by side, with break-even month and total saving.
Ladder strategy
Smaller commitments bought in steps over several months to reduce risk while coverage grows.

Questions
About Commitment Planner
Do you buy commitments for us?
No. We recommend and track. Purchases are made by your team in your own account, and you keep the full discount.
What if our usage drops?
Recommendations target the steady floor of usage and account for planned rightsizing. Utilisation alerts warn early if a commitment starts to go unused.
