Archera offers a new way to reduce migration risk. Confidently buy Reserved Instances and Savings Plans to gain discounts, and in exchange for a fee, we cover whatever goes unused. We call this Insured Commitments.
Generative AI migrations create a commitment paradox. AWS MAP funding and savings targets push you to lock in committed spend early. But your migration is exactly when fleet uncertainty is at its highest. Workloads get re-architected, instance types change, GPU generations turn over inside the project window, and right-sizing happens after the fleet has actually been running. Native 3-year No-Upfront Reserved Instances punish every one of those decisions. You either over-commit and watch unused reservations sit on your bill, or under-commit and miss the savings AWS rewards you for.
Archera Insured Commitments remove that tradeoff. We buy and manage the underlying 3-year RI, absorb the duration risk on our balance sheet, and deliver a single locked-in rate to you up front. In exchange for a fee, we cover whatever goes unused. If your migration plan shifts, the unused portion of the commitment is refunded or rebated. You commit on day one of migration without carrying the consequences of a forecast that hasn't happened yet.
This listing offers two Insured Commitment products, structured as Guaranteed Reserved Instances (GRIs). The 30-Day GRI is built for the active migration window, when fleet composition is changing fastest. You commit for only 30 days at a time, capture real RI savings during the migration, and remain refund-eligible for the remainder of the underlying 3-year term. It is the right product for GPU fleets being lifted from on-premises or another cloud, AI workloads on the latest accelerator generations (p5, p4d, g6, and similar), and migration phases where you are still right-sizing. The 1-Year GRI is built for post-migration stabilization, where you have visibility into the next twelve months but are not ready to underwrite three years on a workload that is still evolving. You take a 12-month lock-in in exchange for a deeper net discount that typically beats the AWS 1-Year No-Upfront direct rate. After the 12-month lock-in closes, you are rebate-eligible for the remaining two years of the underlying RI. Many customers start a migration on the 30-Day GRI and graduate to the 1-Year GRI as their fleet stabilizes.
Highlights
30-Day Guaranteed RI for the active migration window. Built for when your fleet is still changing: instance types being re-architected, GPU generations turning over, right-sizing happening after the fleet runs. You commit for only 30 days at a time and capture real RI savings on day one. After day 30, you are refund-eligible for the rest of the underlying 3-year term, so unused commitments never appear on your bill.
1-Year Guaranteed RI for post-migration stabilization. You take a 12-month lock-in in exchange for a deeper net discount that typically beats the AWS 1-Year direct rate. After the 12-month lock-in closes, you are refund-eligible for the remaining two years of the underlying RI. The right step-up from the 30-Day GRI once your fleet composition stabilizes.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing bills through two contract-based units. The Archera EDP Fee covers charges tied to your Enterprise Discount Program arrangement. The Enterprise Discount Forecasting unit supports identifying safe baselines for your cloud commitments. Both are priced per unit rather than as fixed subscription tiers, so your cost scales with the number of units you contract. The units work together: forecasting helps you model and rightsize commitment baselines, while the EDP Fee handles the associated program charges. You engage each unit based on your negotiated commitment needs rather than choosing between separate plan levels.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the Enterprise Discount Forecasting unit actually help me do?
This unit powers scenario modeling against your real usage. It helps you identify safe baseline levels for cloud commitments and load your negotiated pricing agreements. You can model infrastructure growth across multi-year forecasts to rightsize a commitment or adjust spending patterns to meet private pricing thresholds.
How do the two contract units relate on my bill?
The forecasting unit and the EDP Fee bill independently, each priced per unit. Forecasting supports modeling and identifying safe commitment baselines. The EDP Fee handles charges tied to your Enterprise Discount Program arrangement. Your total reflects the units you contract for each function, not a single bundled subscription.
Does using the forecasting and planning capability require paying a platform fee?
Cost visibility, forecasting, and native commitment planning run on a free platform with no separate platform fee. You contract the units listed here based on your negotiated commitment needs. Charges tie to your Enterprise Discount Program arrangement rather than a percentage of your general cloud spend.
