Reservations & Savings Plans
Reservations tracks your committed-use discounts — Azure Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, and AWS Commitments — with real-time utilization so you can spot underused or expiring commitments before they waste money.
KPI Cards
- Active — Number of active commitments
- Avg Utilization — Average utilization across commitments
- Expiring Soon — Commitments nearing expiration
- Recommendations — Suggested new commitments

Best Practices
- Watch low utilization — An underused reservation is money left on the table; investigate anything well below 100%
- Act on expirations — Renew or replace commitments flagged as Expiring Soon to avoid falling back to on-demand rates
- Follow the recommendations — Reservation recommendations point at steady-state usage worth committing
