Dimensions summary
Archera's platform is free to use to manage and automate the procurement and lifecycle of Savings Plans and Reserved Instances across all reservable services on AWS. Customers pay a fixed monthly premium per commitment when they choose to use Archera to guarantee a SP or RI against underutilization and reduce its term to 30 days or one year. The pricing is value-based, meaning customers pay only when Archera successfully generates net savings on their AWS spending.

Ideal for anyone struggling to get visibility 3 years ahead!

What do you like best about the product?
Archera makes it possible to get much better discounts than with straight AWS Savings plans on a 12 months commitment. And nothing prevents to fully benefit from the full 3 years discounts once better visibility in the future is gain.
Unless a customer is able to commit for 3 years to a high coverage of Savings plans, I see no reason not to use Archera!
Archera is also very easy to use and setup.
