Talk to an Expert →It's the practice of continuously matching your Azure Reserved Instance and Savings Plan purchases to your actual usage instead of committing once and hoping usage stays flat. Usage.ai automates this by analyzing your usage, buying and rebalancing commitments in your account, and protecting eligible unused value if your usage changes.
Usage.ai continuously analyzes your Azure usage patterns, models the right mix of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans for your workloads, and purchases and manages those commitments directly in your account rebalancing them automatically as your usage shifts, rather than locking you into a static commitment.
No. Usage.ai operates at the billing and purchasing layer buying and managing commitments without making changes to your Azure resources, architecture, or deployments.
Usage.ai requests read-only access to your usage and billing data to analyze spend, plus purchasing permissions scoped to commitment purchases (Reserved Instances and Savings Plans) not broader resource-management access.
If your usage drops below what you've committed to, Usage.ai calculates the unused portion of that commitment and returns it to you as Cashback paid out as money or credits, depending on your plan so you're not left paying for capacity you didn't use.
Usage.ai optimizes commitments across Azure VMs, Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Databricks, App Service, Azure Functions (Premium), Dedicated Host, and Container Instances / Container Apps with more services added over time.
