Cloudchipr Now Supports AWS Savings Plans

Cloudchipr is excited to launch Commitments, tool designed to enhance how you manage your AWS reservations. With Commitments, you can track your current reservations and analyze reservation coverage. This feature answers a crucial question: What percentage of your instances benefit from reservation discounts? For instance, if you're running 100 active instances and have reservations for only 80, Commitments will reveal that 20% of your capacity is not covered by reservations, thus subject to on-demand pricing. Ensure you're maximizing your savings with Cloudchipr's new Commitments feature.

Explore the Commitments Feature Through Two Key Subpages:

• Utilization & Coverage: Track your current reservations and view detailed insights on what percentage of your instances benefit from reservation discounts. This helps you identify how much of your capacity is covered by reservations and how much is subject to on-demand pricing.
• Recommendations (Coming Soon): Prepare for future enhancements with recommendations tailored to optimize your reservations and increase your savings.

Utilization & Coverage Dashboard:

Visual Metrics: View Utilization and Coverage with dynamic charts, available in area, column, and gauge types.

Detailed Metrics: At the top of the page, view key figures such as Total Cost, Total Net Savings, and average Coverage. Customize the data displayed by selecting specific date ranges with the interactive date picker, allowing for tailored analysis of your metrics over time.

Commitments and Coverage Tables:

Commitments Table: This table displays detailed information about each of your commitments. It lists the Savings Plan ID, type, linked account, region, payment option, utilization compared to the commitment, tags, net savings, and the start and end dates.

Coverage Table: The Coverage table features a "Group by" filter that enhances your ability to analyze AWS spending efficiently by organizing data by Resource Type or Accounts.
