Testimonials
With Archera’s “robot” automation handling RDS reservations, the team can secure three-year discounts on a 30-day commitment. This flexibility allows Platform9 to be aggressive with cost management, cutting expenses without constant oversight.
I think Reserved Instances or general bulk discounts on Amazon are fairly challenging … our volumes and our loads change fairly significantly … for us to go out and buy a one-year subscription for a Reserved Instance is something thatwe had never really considered because, what we thought was overloaded six months ago is now extremely underutilized today, and we would have just been stuck with that commitment for a year.
Scott Tsuchiyama
Director of Engineering, Spec
Full transparency: there have been other vendors that have reached out to me before … I never moved off of Archera because I think there are a lot of things about Archera that gives us the wins that we need and the savings that we are looking for with very little effort on our part. We implement Archera and then, from there, Archera is running in the background in order to get us those savings — those things are very, very valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Archera, exactly?
Archera is a cloud commitment management platform that helps teams reduce AWS and Azure costs. It enables companies to use shorter-term commitments with significant savings, without requiring long-term lock-in.
How is this different from native cloud commitments?
Native cloud commitments can reduce costs, but they typically require 1- or 3-year terms. If usage changes, teams may end up paying for capacity they no longer use. Archera offers shorter commitment terms and includes a rebate if a commitment goes underutilized.
Do we need to make engineering changes or modify our infrastructure?
No. Archera does not require any engineering effort or application changes. It works without modifying your infrastructure or disrupting existing workloads.
What happens if our usage drops after we commit?
If a commitment becomes underutilized, Archera provides a rebate. This helps reduce the financial risk associated with cloud commitments.
Is the platform really free?
Yes. The platform is free to use. Customers only pay when they choose to use Archera’s insured commitments.
Do we have to give up control of our cloud purchasing decisions?
No. Archera does not take over your billing account or purchasing decisions. Your team remains in control.
What happens after I request a savings analysis?
You’ll receive a savings analysis based on your cloud usage. From there, you can evaluate whether using Archera’s commitment options makes sense for your team.
