Insured Cloud Commitments • GSPs • GRIs • Archera
The discounts of a one-year commitment. The flexibility of 30 days.
Archera's Insured Commitments give you AWS, Azure, and GCP savings on terms as short as 30 days, with no underutilization risk even with lock-in. Cover usage that native Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, and Committed Use Discounts can't reach, and save around 30% on 30-day terms or 45% on one-year terms, net of premium.
Break free of one and three-year term limits
Native AWS and Azure Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, and Google Cloud CUDs, only pay off if you lock in for one or three years. Archera delivers similar savings inside your own payer account on terms as short as 30 days, through Guaranteed Savings Plans (GSPs) and Guaranteed Reserved Instances (GRIs) on AWS and Azure, and Guaranteed Committed Use Discounts (GCUDs) on Google Cloud.
Unlock new ways to buy and save
GSPs, GRIs, and GCUDs add flexibility native commitments can't:
- Cover usage too short-term for a native commitment
- Trade between higher savings and more flexibility on your terms
- Get rebated for underutilization when a commitment can't be transferred or converted
- Defer premiums interest-free while you're running entirely on CSP credits
Stay in control of every purchase
Build purchasing plans on Archera's free platform using native commitments alone, or add GSPs, GRIs, and GCUDs. Each option shows your total savings with the insurance premium already included. Buy one and Archera converts an underlying native commitment into a short-term Insured Commitment. You're charged a premium only if the commitment actually generates savings.
Automatic rebates for underutilization
Hold an Insured Commitment through its 30-day or one-year term, and Archera's Rebate Guarantee automatically reimburses you if you stop fully using the underlying commitment. No credits against future bills. You're made financially whole right away.
Use insured commitments to save on
- Short-term projects, roadmap experiments, data analysis, and seasonal workloads
- Migrations, consolidations, and infrastructure transformations
- Re-architecting from IaaS to managed services or serverless
- Generative AI and LLM training
- Highly uncertain workloads
“I think Reserved Instances or general bulk discounts on Amazon are fairly challenging … our volumes and our loads change fairly significantly … for us to go out and buy a one-year subscription for a Reserved Instance is something that we had never really considered because, what we thought was overloaded six months ago is now extremely underutilized today, and we would have just been stuck with that commitment for a year.”
