Vantage Launches Autopilot Controls

Vantage has introduced Autopilot Controls, allowing customers to manage and adjust settings for Autopilot, which helps optimize reserved instance purchases by providing visibility into usage trends and committed coverage for various compute categories. This feature enables users to view detailed graphs of their cloud usage, adjust target commitment levels, and selectively enable or disable Autopilot for specific compute categories, offering more precise control over cost-saving strategies. Previously, customers could only see overall savings estimates and had to contact support for category-specific adjustments, but now they can make these changes directly through the Autopilot settings page at no additional cost. The new controls are available to all customers, including those already using Autopilot, and changes to settings are implemented within 24 to 48 hours, with some limitations due to AWS's reserved instance holding periods.
