# Can Archera Help Resell or Manage Underutilized AWS Convertible RIs? Archera fully supports purchasing & managing AWS EC2 Convertible RIs (CRIs) for free via our platform. AWS EC2 CRIs cannot be resold, however Archera does support **auto-exchanging AWS CRIs** continuously based on customer defined policies, which can maximize their utilization by effectively reducing the committed hourly cost to match real-time usage in exchange for a slightly longer term. This can leave room to cover truly variable & uncertain workloads with options that are fully re-sellable or come with a rebate guarantee like Archera's Guaranteed Commitments (which often also provide a higher net savings rate). Archera is the sole 100% free tool that automatically reduces waste from any unused CRIs until they expire. This process is managed through both a fully automated approach and a human-in-the-loop exchange policy. ## Related Resources * [What does AWS RI 'Instance Size Flexibility' mean and how does it work?](/help-center/aws-faq/instance-size-flexibility.md) * [How Does Archera Help Navigate AWS EC2 Standard RI Marketplace Limits?](/help-center/aws-faq/ec2-ri-marketplace-limits.md) * [What are Guaranteed Commitments?](/help-center/guaranteed-commitments/what-are-guaranteed-commitments.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
