View your savings

After enabling Cloud Commitment Management for your organization, you can monitor your savings in the dashboard.

The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your cost optimizations:

  1. Go to the Commitment Management page (Cloud > Commitment Management).
  2. Select Dashboard > Amazon Web Services.

In the dashboard, you can:

  • See an overview of data from connected AWS accounts in your organization.

  • Filter the entire dashboard on billing account, time, region, and service.

  • View your savings rates, including effective savings rates (ESR) and non-ESR:

    • Savings is how much you saved by using reserved instances and savings plans, compared with how much you were saving when you signed up for Cloud Commitment Management.

    • Compute ESR is the average savings across an entire usage class. The formula for ESR is [net savings]/[on-demand cost equivalent]. Net savings includes the total savings achieved, minus the cost of unused commitments. The usage class is all usage that can be covered by a compute savings plan: non-spot EC2, ECS/Fargate, EKS, and Lambda.

      You can also see how much you're currently saving on compute ERS, compared with how much you were saving when you signed up for Cloud Commitment Management.

    • Non-compute ESR is the average savings across an entire usage class. The formula for ESR is [net savings]/[on-demand cost equivalent]. This is commitment based. Net savings includes the total savings achieved, minus the cost of unused commitments. The usage class includes RDS, Redshift, ElastiCache, and OpenSearch.

      You can also see how much you're currently saving on non-compute ERS, compared with how much you were saving when you signed up for Cloud Commitment Management.

    • Compute ESR with spot is the average savings across an entire usage class. The formula for ESR is [net savings]/[on-demand cost equivalent]. Net savings includes the total savings achieved, minus the cost of unused commitments. The usage class includes all EC2 usage (including spot usage), plus other services that can be covered by a compute savings plan: EC2, ECS/Fargate, EKS, and Lambda.

      You can also see how much you're currently saving on compute ESR with spot accounts, compared with how much you were saving when you signed up for Cloud Commitment Management.

    • Actions is the number of actions for Cloud Commitment Management. This includes automated tasks, cost specialists taking actions, cost specialists checking your account.

  • See your savings as a graph and a list:

    You can switch between a graph view and list. On the list, you can filter the values in each column.

    If you select download, you will get the graph or list you're currently viewing.

    • Effective savings rate (ESR) shows the average savings across an entire usage class, by compute ESR, non-compute ESR, and compute ESR with spot.

    • Effective cost and waste shows the effective hourly cost (actual incurred cost with upfront costs distributed) and waste over the last 120 days. Costs are displayed across the main purchase options and any unused commitments.

    • Coverage and utilization over time

      You can switch between:

      • Coverage, which lets you track performance against your coverage target.

      • Utilization, which shows the hourly utilization rate, combining reserved instance and savings plan utilization, as a percentage of committed costs utilized.

    • Value expiration metrics shows your total commitment expiration as of today. You can see a summary, as well as broken down by time.

    • Burndown by commitment type shows the true costs of commitment over time and how long it will take into the future.

    • Commitment expiration shows when your commitments are expiring.
