• Effective Savings Rate: SUM(On-Demand Rate - Committed Rate (effective rate)) / SUM(On-Demand Rate)
• Utilization: Percentage of unused RI Hours or SP dollars in the selected time period. For example, if you have $10/hour Savings Plan commitment and your usage billed with Savings Plan rates total $9.80 for the hour, your utilization for that hour is 98% percent.

Permissions

If you are new to buying AWS Reserved Instances or Savings Plans it can be quite overwhelming. This knowledge base will give a brief overview of our AWS Committed Use planner which provides visibility into your existing portfolio to showcase realized savings, unrealized savings, savings rate and utilization. We also provide an optimizations page to identify how many Reserved Instances or Savings Plans you could buy and the overall potential impact to your bill.

Before we get started, for this feature to be available and have complete functionality, you will need the below specific IAM permissions associated with the IAM role you created during the AWS configuration process. We provide copies, on our public GitHub repository, of our CloudFormation Template and Terraform script for complete transparency about what permissions are required: https://github.com/TernaryInc/ternary-onb-permissions

"ce:GetSavingsPlansPurchaseRecommendation",
"ce:GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation",
"EC2:DecribeRegions",
"savingsplans:DescribeSavingsPlans",
"EC2:DescribeReservedInstances"

Please review the IAM role for Ternary in your AWS console to confirm the above permissions are included. Once they are enabled, it may take 24-hours to populate data in the UI as we will gather data upon the next successful billing data ingestion.
