Capabilities

What you get with Commitment Intelligence

Scenario modeling

Compare conservative, balanced and aggressive strategies by savings, break-even point and lock-in risk before you spend a dollar.

Coverage & utilization

Daily coverage and utilization for every Savings Plan, RI and CUD, with alerts before anything goes under-utilized.

Effective savings rate

The single metric that tells you how well your rate strategy is working — benchmarked over time and by account.

Expiration management

See every renewal coming, model replacement options and never let a commitment lapse into on-demand rates.

Fair benefit allocation

Allocate commitment discounts back to the teams that consumed them — so showback and chargeback stay fair.

Purchase-ready plans

Export a precise purchase plan — term, payment option, family, region and amount — with an approval workflow for finance.

Modeled on your reality

Recommendations that respect your roadmap

Usage changes. Migrations happen. CarnotCloud factors in growth, seasonality, planned rightsizing and modernization so you don’t commit to capacity you’re about to eliminate.

  • Layered strategies across Compute SP, EC2 SP, RIs and CUDs
  • Rightsizing-aware: optimize usage first, then commit
  • Break-even and downside-risk analysis for every scenario
  • Azure reservations & savings plans, Google CUDs and flexible CUDs

Finance-grade governance

Your team decides. CarnotCloud makes it obvious.

Every commitment is a financial decision. CarnotCloud gives finance and FinOps a shared, auditable recommendation — with the math visible — and keeps purchases firmly in your hands.

  • Approval workflows with full decision history
  • Commitment portfolio dashboard by term and expiry
  • Amortization schedules ready for your general ledger
  • Alerts on utilization drops and upcoming renewals

18% → 33% effective savings rate

“The commitment modeling gave finance the confidence to act. We moved from 41% to 82% coverage with zero stranded commitments — and we understood every dollar of the decision.”
Elena M.Senior Director, Cloud Finance, Fortune 500 retailer
