OpsNow FAQs

Can OpsNow recommend when and how much commitment I should purchase?

Yes. OpsNow FinOps Plus’s My Commitments > Recommendations tab helps organizations optimize cloud costs by recommending the ideal timing and amount of additional commitment purchases (e.g., Savings Plans or Reserved Instances). These insights are particularly helpful for financial and cloud operations teams looking to improve cost efficiency.

All recommendations are generated by OpsNow Insight AI, which analyzes:

✅ Historical cloud spend and usage trends over the past 3 months
✅ Current commitment utilization and coverage gaps
✅ Forecasted savings potential based on additional commitment simulation

Each recommendation includes detailed quantitative metrics such as:

Metric	Description
Estimated Monthly Savings	The cost savings achievable by purchasing additional commitments
Coverage Rate Increase	The improvement in cost coverage (reduction in on-demand spend)
Return on Investment (ROI)	Projected efficiency of the commitment (e.g., ROI 4.5x)
Optimal Commitment Structure	Suggested term (1yr vs 3yr), payment type (All Upfront, No Upfront, Partial)
