From Commitments to Outcomes: Building a Smarter Cloud Commitment Strategy
Commitments are static. Your cloud isn’t. See how continuous, AI-driven optimization keeps coverage right as workloads shift, so savings stop decaying the moment you sign-up. Backed by Forward Deployed Engineers who own the outcome with you.
October 14th, 12PM ET - 5PM UK
What You Will Learn
Best way to optimize rate
Set the stage. Rate optimization is ongoing, not a one-time purchase. Core tension: usage is dynamic, commitments are static.
What are the strategies?
Coverage targets that account for workload volatility, diversification across 1-year and 3-year instruments and RI/SP blends, and staggered, rolling purchasing to cut lock-in risk.
Why it’s hard to do manually
Rolling buys need weekly attention. Blending needs constant recalculation. Done by hand, a FinOps team works around the clock and still guesses.
How the FDE model plus Commit comes into play
Lens sees it, Tuner rebalances it, and Forward Deployed Engineers own it with you. Everything just described, done automatically and continuously, with zero engineering effort.
Planted question to live demo
A planted audience question cues the demo. The speaker answers by running it live on a real AWS account.
