The Coverage tab in OpsNow FinOps Plus – My Commitments provides a clear visualization of commitment coverage across services, accounts, and instance types. This helps organizations detect misaligned commitments and take action before waste or penalties occur.
✅ Identify Over-Provisioned Commitments
- If a specific account or service shows a coverage rate over 100%, it means the committed usage exceeds actual consumption.
- This may lead to unused commitments and potential financial waste.
✅ Identify Under-Covered Usage
- If a workload is running entirely on On-Demand without any applied commitments (e.g., Savings Plans or RIs), the organization is missing out on available discounts.
- These areas represent cost optimization opportunities.
✅ Visual Dashboard
- The Coverage tab displays commitment vs. usage using bar charts and percentages.
- You can instantly see the coverage rate for each service, account, or instance family, including:
- Total committed cost
- Actual covered usage
- On-Demand spending
💬 Example:
“In the Asia Pacific (Seoul) region, the Aurora MySQL service shows 125% commitment coverage, indicating over-provisioning, while EC2 t3.medium instances are still billed as On-Demand, highlighting a gap in coverage.”
Benefits
- ✅ Reduce waste from underutilized commitments
- ✅ Convert On-Demand spend into discounted usage
- ✅ Enable strategic commitment planning by account and service
