# AWS commitment optimization

### AWS commitment coverage  
that scales **with your usage**  
Stop over-committing or under-covering with a dynamic blend of AWS micro-commitments for compute and databases, automatically adopt to actual usage.

**No spreadsheets, no manual reviews. More savings with less risk.**

### Capabilities
Maximize AWS commitment coverage,  
**minimize lock-in risk.**

#### Dynamic commitment coverage  
Small Compute and Database Savings Plans with staggered expiration dates. When usage drops, plans expire without renewal. When usage grows, new plans are purchased.

#### Adaptive Reserved Instances management  
Leverage flexible CRIs that automatically convert, inflate, or deflate based on demand to maximize savings without overcommitting.

#### Tailored commitment strategy  
Set your target coverage, growth rate, and 1Y/3Y term preference and let the portfolio adjust automatically.

#### Precise forecasting,    based on your CUR data  
Coverage gaps are forecast using your Cost and Usage Report, so purchase or expiration decisions are being made proactively, not reactively.

#### Aligned with rightsizing and scaling  
Coverage adjusts automatically when resources are rightsized or scaling events change your baseline, so commitments don’t outrun actual usage.

### Benefits
## Higher savings. More flexibility. **Less risk.**

### Cut AWS Compute    and Database costs  
Higher commitment coverage, lower Compute and Database spend without committing to capacity that may never run.

### Reduce commitment    lock-in risk  
Smaller commitments and staggered expirations mean exposure adjusts daily with your usage, not 12 months later.

### Free your team from    commitment management  
Coverage decisions run automatically in the background based on CUR history and real-time signals, so your team stays focused on real work.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### If you’ve made it this far,    these **questions** are for you

**How does the pricing model work?**  
Commitment manager’s pricing model is purely success-based, so if Zesty doesn’t save you anything, we don’t get paid either. Our bill is based on a percentage of what we have saved for our customers, with lower percentages available if you would like to sign a longer contract with us.

**Is the platform secure?**  
Yes, security is a priority. Commitment Manager complies with industry standards, encrypts all data, and offers role-based access controls, ensuring only authorized users can access your cost data and settings. Only metadata and usage metrics are collected; Zesty doesn’t have access to any data on the EC2 instance.

**Does it require an agent in order to work?**  
Commitment Manager does not require an agent, nor does it access your instances. Zesty requires your AWS cloud account to be linked to the Zesty dashboard. With limited permissions, our AI algorithms can analyze usage data and send commands for buying Savings Plans.

**Is there a complex setup or onboarding process?**  
No, our platform is designed for a quick and simple onboarding process. Connecting your AWS cloud account to the Zesty dashboard takes just a few minutes. Our customers are up and running in no time, with full support to ensure a smooth start on our platform.

**How long does it take to see savings after implementation?**  
Savings are visible from day one. The time to achieve maximum coverage can vary by a few weeks, depending on the current level of coverage and the existing commitment portfolio.
