Archera plugs the gap between our AWS reservations when we need to make changes such as instance family while we have remaining time on our reservations help directly with AWS.

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.
