Commitment Manager actual savings

This topic describes how to see actual savings derived from using Zesty Commitment Manager. This topic is relevant for those who are subscribed to Commitment Manager.

Prerequisites

CSP is integrated with the Zesty platform
For more information, see Integrate and onboard an AWS account with Zesty.
Access to the Zesty platform
If you have questions or need additional help, reach out to Customer Support.
Subscription to Commitment Manager

To show actual savings:

From the Zesty platform main menu, select Commitment Manager.

Savings are shown in the Commitment Manager dashboard:

On the Dashboard tab, you can see data related to savings achieved by covering OD cost with commitments.

By default, all the data shown is from the last 30 days. You can select a different date range which will apply to all the charts.

Tip: When you hover displayed data, more detail is shown.

AWS note
Due to AWS CUR delays, data that includes a previous month will only be final after the 7th of the current month, and the last 48 hours of data are not included in any data shown.

The graphs show the following data:

Graph	Description	Graph options
Cost over time	Total On-Demand cost: This is the calculated compute cost if no workloads were covered by commitments (all at the On-Demand cost). Effective compute cost: This is the actual spend (should match your CSP bill). Savings: This is the total saved by covering workloads with commitments, both those that Zesty manages and those that are self-managed. For the breakdown of the source of the savings, see the Coverage type breakdown graph.	You can alternate the view between a bar chart and a line chart and also aggregate the data by day, week, or month.
Average coverage	Shows the daily average of compute workloads covered by commitments. You can see the data based on a 30-day steady state of usage (stable, ongoing demand, without noise from short-term peaks) or based on total usage (including temporary demand fluctuations).
Coverage type breakdown	Shows the On-Demand equivalent cost that is covered or not covered.	You can select which commitments to view as well as to alternate the view between a bar chart and a line chart.
Average coverage ratio	Shows the ratio of commitments (out of all the current usage, not the steady state) that is covered, as well as the share of the commitments that are responsible for the coverage.
Platform cost breakdown	Shows the costs incurred per platform/OS.
Savings breakdown	Shows from where savings are derived: Customer (self-managed) savings and Managed (Zesty-managed) savings
