Reservation Management Techniques
You can manage reservations either by using a central IT operations or management team or by using a specific team or business unit. The following table summarizes the different reservation management techniques.
| Central Reservation Management | Team/Business Unit Reservation Management |
|---|---|
| Maximizes reservation coverage by covering aggregate usage across a business | Increases likelihood of high reservation utilization (e.g., using already-purchased reservations), because a single team should understand its capacity commitment of RIs |
| Simplifies overall reservation management especially when combining central management and Convertible Reserved Instances | Reduces interfacing or planning between the business unit and the central team |
| Reduces the requirement for an individual team to understand reservations | Streamlines decisions about purchases, purchase process, and reservation account location |
