Viewing Savings Plans recommendation details

Savings Plans recommendation details offer visibility into the potential impact of a recommended Savings Plan on your hourly On-Demand cost, coverage, and utilization. Each recommendation is designed to maximize your savings, taking into account your chosen Recommendation parameters, your current Savings Plans inventory, and your On-Demand spend over the lookback period. You can also access the Purchase Analyzer page from the Recommendation details page, enabling you to customize your recommendations further and estimate the cost, coverage, and utilization impact of your next Savings Plan purchase for custom commitments.

To view the details of a Savings Plan recommendation

1. Open the AWS Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/home.

2. In the navigation pane, under Savings Plans, choose Recommendations.

3. In the Recommended Savings Plans section on the Recommendations page, for a specific Savings Plan, choose View details.

The Recommendation details page shows three simulated charts that illustrate the impact of purchasing the recommended commitment:

• On-Demand cost: Shows the current Savings Plan commitment, the recommended Savings Plan purchase, and the remaining On-Demand spend.

• Coverage: Shows the coverage both before and after the recommended Savings Plan purchase.

• Utilization: Shows the utilization of the recommended Savings Plan purchase.
