Questions about AWS cost optimization

Explore database coverage, rightsizing recommendations, account permissions, and Cashback protection.

01 What does Usage.ai optimize?

Usage.ai combines rightsizing recommendations with automated management of eligible AWS commitments across compute and database services. Your team reviews and applies rightsizing changes, while Usage.ai manages commitment coverage as usage changes.

02 How does Usage.ai automate commitment management?

Usage.ai analyzes eligible compute and database usage, models commitment options, and automates Savings Plans and reservation purchases when you enable scoped purchasing permissions. It accounts for commitments you already own and monitors coverage over time.

03 Which database services does Usage.ai support?

Usage.ai supports Database Savings Plans across eligible RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, DocumentDB, Neptune, Keyspaces, Timestream, AWS DMS, and Amazon OpenSearch Service usage, including supported serverless offerings. Eligible engines, generations, and charge types follow AWS coverage rules.

It also manages eligible database reservations, including RDS and Aurora RIs and Redshift reserved nodes. Redshift uses its own reservation products.

04 Does Usage.ai apply rightsizing changes automatically?

No. Usage.ai provides rightsizing recommendations for your team to review and apply. Your team decides which resource changes to make and when to make them. Automated commitment purchases are handled separately with scoped purchasing permissions.

05 Can we start with read-only access?

Yes. Usage.ai uses read-only access to analyze your AWS billing and usage data. Enabling automated purchases requires additional scoped purchasing permissions. Commitments stay in your AWS account, with ownership and visibility retained by your team.

06 What happens if our AWS usage drops?

AWS commitments can leave you paying for unused capacity. Usage.ai monitors coverage as usage changes and provides Cashback protection for eligible unused commitment value through its Flex Commitment Program.

07 How do rightsizing and commitments work together?

Rightsizing helps reduce the resources you need. Savings Plans and reservations reduce the price of eligible usage. Review planned resource changes before buying new commitments so purchases reflect the usage you expect to keep.
