Commitment Inventory Metrics
What every number on the Commitment Inventory page means: the header stats bar and the commitment table.
This page defines the metrics shown on Commitment Inventory, Archera's tool for managing existing commitments and planning renewals.
Two fields on this page, Included and Commitment Info, carry the same definitions used on the Commitment Planner. They are not repeated here.
Header stats bar
Guaranteed Commitment Premiums
Shown in the product as: Guaranteed Commitment Premiums (previously labeled "GRI Premiums")
What it is: Estimated monthly Guaranteed Commitment premiums based on the selected time window.
The premium itself, meaning what it is and how term length affects it, is defined in Premiums and Term Lengths. This tile is the rolled-up estimate for whatever date range is currently selected on the page, not a single commitment's premium.
Related: Archera only charges premiums on Guaranteed Commitments when those commitments actually save you money. For how that works, see Premiums and Term Lengths.
Commitment table
Offering Info
What it is: The commitment's term and payment option, in the same format as the Commitments field on the Commitment Planner, for example 30 Day GRI | No Upfront.
Per-provider labels: The commitment type abbreviation in this column depends on both the cloud provider and the underlying native commitment:
AWS
30 Day GRI | No Upfront or 30 Day GSP | No Upfront
1 Year GRI | No Upfront or 1 Year GSP | No Upfront
Azure
30 Day GRI | No Upfront or 30 Day GSP | No Upfront
1 Year GRI | No Upfront or 1 Year GSP | No Upfront
Google Cloud
30 Day GCUD | No Upfront
1 Year GCUD | No Upfront
GRI indicates the commitment is backed by a Reserved Instance (an Azure Reservation on Azure). GSP indicates a Savings Plan. GCUD indicates a Committed Use Discount.
Utilization
Definition under review. The exact basis for this figure is being confirmed and is not yet published.
If Utilization matters to your decision, ask us rather than inferring it. Contact your Archera representative or support and we will confirm what it measures for your commitments.
