Commitment Portfolio Management Framework
A template for managing your portfolio of reserved instances, savings plans, and enterprise agreements as a unified financial instrument.
Portfolio View
Treat all commitments as a portfolio, not individual purchases. Evaluate total portfolio coverage, utilization, and risk exposure as aggregate metrics.
Risk Assessment
For each commitment, track: utilization rate, remaining term, flexibility (convertible vs. standard), and architectural dependency. Flag commitments with utilization below 70% for immediate action.
Rebalancing Strategy
Quarterly, evaluate the portfolio against updated demand forecasts. Sell unused convertible RIs on the marketplace. Let underperforming standard RIs expire without renewal. Reallocate budget to higher-performing commitment types.
Dashboard Template
The framework includes a pre-built dashboard template showing: total committed spend, blended discount rate, coverage by service, utilization heat map, and expiration timeline.
