Maximize savings. Minimize commitment risk. Automate smart
Optimize your AWS bill with precision-engineered rate strategies—so you get all the benefits of long‑term commitments without the downsides.
Why Rate Optimization Matters
AWS offers steep discounts via Reserved Instances and Savings Plans—up to 72% off on compute workloads—but committing blindly can backfire: usage fluctuates, workloads change… and suddenly you’re paying for unused capacity
The trick? Blend AI-driven rate optimization with flexible controls, ensuring commitments match usage over time. That’s the secret behind top-tier FinOps teams commanding stellar Effective Savings Rates (ESR)—often 50–70%+ on compute
How It Works?
- AI-Powered Commitment Planning
Forecast and analyze your usage curves (historical, real-time telemetry, future events). - Algorithmic Mix of Discounts
Automatically evaluate and apply Convertible RIs, Savings Plans, and short-term Flexible Plans to balance savings and flexibility - Active Portfolio Management
Monitor and adjust: buy, sell, convert RIs and SPs as workloads shift—preserving optimal coverage. - Transparency & Showback
Provide clear allocation: who used what, where commitment costs went—enhancing FinOps controls and internal chargeback.
Key Benefits
- Rocket‑fast ROI
Deploy in minutes—save 30–60% on compute, with optimizations recouping their own cost and then some - Zero engineering lift
Full stack automation: no code changes, no infra bits, no downtime - No commitment lock-in
Use Convertible and tradable RIs for flexibility and, with Flexible or short-term instruments, switch tactics mid-flight.
Elite FinOps outcomes
Effective Savings Rate (ESR) boosts: clients routinely achieve top‑percentile ESR (+50–70%)—and Hykell customers often double theirs
