Evaluating the effectiveness of a cloud cost management strategy is crucial for measuring overall performance of cloud infrastructure. Commitment Coverage measures what percentage of infrastructure is covered using longer-term commitments, providing insight into potential savings opportunities. A higher coverage rate does not automatically translate to higher savings, so it's essential to also measure Net Savings Rate, which calculates the actual percentage of savings generated by covered infrastructure. Committed Dollar Risk helps understand how much is committed to spending with a vendor and how to allocate remaining budget. Dollars Lost from Inaction measures accumulated dollar savings lost from waiting to execute a commitment purchasing strategy, helping assess opportunity costs and shifting organizational mindsets towards cost consciousness. Calculating these values manually can be time-consuming, but tools like Archera can automate the process, saving teams time and effort.
