How Flex Insured Commitments work

Autopilot handles purchasing

Usage.ai analyzes your usage and buys eligible commitments within the controls you set.

FlexCadence staggers purchases

Purchases are spread over time so future buying decisions can reflect changes in demand.

Cashback protects unused value

If usage falls, Cashback helps offset qualifying underutilization on eligible commitments under your agreement.

Cashback when committed usage goes unused

A drop in demand can leave you paying for commitments you no longer fully use. Cashback provides financial protection for eligible unused commitment value, paid as cash or cloud credits according to your agreement.

Your dashboard shows commitment utilization and protection applied, so your team can see the cost impact when usage changes.

Keep ownership of your commitments

Commitments are purchased in your own cloud account. Your team retains ownership and visibility into the purchases Usage.ai manages.

Analysis starts with read-only billing and usage access. Purchasing permissions are added when you enable optimization. Usage.ai's commitment automation cannot start, stop, resize or modify your production resources.

Pay a share of the new savings we generate

Usage.ai earns a share of the new savings it delivers. There is no upfront platform fee or subscription, and no charge on savings from commitments you already had.

Your assessment shows projected savings, Usage.ai's fee and the amount you keep. If Usage.ai generates no new savings, you pay nothing.

Questions about cloud commitments
and Cashback

01What is cloud commitment management?

Cloud commitment management is the ongoing work of planning, buying and monitoring cloud discount commitments. It helps teams match purchases to expected usage while managing the cost of commitments that become underutilized.

02How does Usage.ai automate cloud cost optimization?

Usage.ai analyzes usage and existing coverage, identifies eligible commitment discounts and manages purchases. Autopilot executes purchases within approved controls; Copilot lets your team review recommendations first.

03What are Flex Insured Commitments?

Flex Insured Commitments combine commitment optimization with financial protection for qualifying underutilization. FlexCadence spreads purchases over time, while Cashback protects eligible unused commitment value under your agreement.

04How does Cashback work if our cloud usage drops?

Cashback helps offset the eligible unused portion of qualifying Flex Insured Commitments. Protection may be delivered through cash, cloud credits or a billing adjustment, according to your agreement. Your dashboard shows utilization and any Cashback applied.

05Does adjusting coverage cancel an existing cloud commitment?

Coverage adapts through future purchase decisions and commitment expirations. Existing native commitments remain subject to their cloud provider's terms. Cashback provides separate protection for qualifying unused value.

06Will Usage.ai change our production infrastructure?

Commitment automation works at the billing and purchasing layer. It cannot start, stop, resize or modify production workloads. Your team controls any infrastructure changes.

07How much can we save?

Savings depend on eligible usage, existing commitments and the options available for your workloads. Your assessment shows projected savings, Usage.ai's fee and expected net savings before you enable optimization.

08How does pricing work?

Usage.ai charges a share of the new savings it generates, with no upfront platform fee or subscription. Savings you already had from existing commitments are excluded from the fee.

09Do we need to connect a cloud account for the demo?

No. The demo explains the product, purchasing controls and Cashback eligibility. A personalized savings assessment is a separate step that requires billing and usage data.
