# Could Archera Change or Impact My Application?

No, Archera exclusively oversees Committed Use Discounts, Savings Plans and Reserved Instances, which are billing contracts entirely separate from the underlying infrastructure.

We only require usage metadata to assess coverage for services like EC2, Fargate, RDS, Elasticache, Redshift, and Elasticsearch.

Archera is never granted access or the ability to access, launch, start, stop, or terminate infrastructure, and it does not impact application performance or availability in any way.

Feel free to contact us if you have further questions!
