Smarter Commitments, Backed by Real Usage
Cloud ex Machina maps RI, SP, and EDP opportunities to actual service-level usage so teams can optimize their commitment strategy, size accurately, and track and allocate savings.
Commitment Management
Guide RI, SP, and EDP purchases based on actual usage and future needs
Choosing the right commitment strategy is complex with countless options and shifting workloads. Dashboards may highlight rising costs, but they don’t explain why or what to do next. Cloud ex Machina goes further, delivering clear recommendations that flow directly into engineering workflows.
Why It Works:
- Ties long-term pricing strategies to real workload behavior
- Delivers actions to the engineers who own implementation
- Integrates directly into ticketing and version control systems
Commitment Renewal Planning
Surface expiring commitments and avoid coverage gaps
Why It Works:
- Track upcoming expirations and coverage gaps without relying on manual effort. Each issue is mapped to the affected workload and team, with clear next steps delivered through the tools they already use.
Automated detection of coverage gaps mapped to service owners - Full context on cost impact and timing
- Built to route action rather than just awareness
Pre-Commitment Forecasting
Model long-term provisioning before scale hits
Cloud Ex Machina supports early-stage commitment modeling in areas where reservation-based discounts apply, helping engineering teams evaluate long-term cost impact before scaling.
Why It Works:
- Helps teams model cost before deploying at scale
- Translates planning signals into operational steps
- Embedded into your provisioning workflows
Usage-Based Targeting
Apply coverage where it counts most
Not all usage is worth committing to. CloudExMachina analyzes team-level and service-level consumption to recommend RI/SP coverage only where it will maximize savings, avoiding waste from blanket commitments.
Why It Works:
- Targets high-impact services and stable usage
- Maps opportunities to owners who can act
- Prevents low-ROI commitments with scoped guidance
