# 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.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/aws-faq/convertible-ris.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
