Commitments overview

The Commitments overview gives you visibility into your existing compute commitments across all payer accounts.

Accounts Overview

After onboarding, PerfectScale for Commitments opens to the Accounts Overview — a cross-account summary of all onboarded payer accounts so you can compare Savings Plans performance and optimization opportunities in one place.

Accounts Overview shows four metric cards with organization-wide totals:

• Average ESR: The average Effective Savings Rate across all accounts.

• Total Potential Savings: Combined monthly savings opportunity across all accounts from Savings Plans optimizations.

• Total Hourly Commitment: Total active commitment ($/h) summed across all accounts.

• Total Rightsizing Potential: Estimated monthly savings from rightsizing your environment based on actual usage patterns.

The All accounts table below lists each account with its name, account ID, cloud provider type, ESR, current monthly savings, and SP potential savings. Select any row to open that account's individual overview.

To return to Accounts Overview at any time, open the accounts menu in the sidebar and select Go to Accounts Overview.

Payer account overview

Selecting a payer account from the Accounts Overview opens its Overview tab, which shows compute coverage, savings, and Effective Savings Rate (ESR) trends for that payer account.

The sidebar also displays a Lifetime Savings counter at the bottom, showing total savings accumulated across all accounts since the earliest onboarding date.

Effective Savings Rate

Effective Savings Rate (ESR) measures what fraction of your eligible compute spend is being saved through active commitments. A higher ESR means your Savings Plans and Reserved Instances are well-utilized. A declining ESR typically signals coverage gaps, underutilized commitments, or a rise in uncovered on-demand spend.

In the three cards at the top of Overview, you can see the account's current state.

• ESR (%, current month): The account's Effective Savings Rate for the last 30 days, expressed as a percentage. A trend indicator shows how ESR changed compared to the previous month.

• Savings ($, current month): Total USD savings achieved in the last 30 days, with year-to-date and lifetime totals shown below.

• Total Potential Savings ($/month): The estimated monthly savings you could unlock by moving from your current to the recommended commitment level. The card displays both the recommended and current $/h rates for comparison.

Cost Summary

Cost Summary plots monthly On-Demand cost and cost-with-savings as overlapping bars, with ESR as a line on the secondary axis. Use this chart to see whether your savings rate is improving or declining over time and how it correlates with overall compute spend.

Savings Plans Coverage

Savings Plans Coverage shows daily compute spend broken down by coverage type: Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (covered), Flexsave and pre-DoiT Savings Plans (other coverage), On-Demand, and Spot Instances. Days with high On-Demand spend represent the primary target for commitment optimization.

• Covered: Spend offset by customer-purchased Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.

• Other Coverage: Spend offset by DoiT Flexsave Savings Plans or Savings Plans purchased before DoiT management began.

• On-Demand: Spend charged at full on-demand rates, not covered by any commitment.

• Spot Instances: Compute spend served by AWS Spot Instances.
