Traditional AWS commitments lock in a discount, but your actual savings depend on utilization. If usage drops below the commitment level, you still pay for it. The risk sits entirely with you.
Cloud Capital's Guaranteed Savings Rate (GSR) works differently. We commit to AWS on your behalf and guarantee a fixed savings rate on your eligible spend. Usage fluctuates. Your savings rate doesn't.
Direct AWS commitments
Savings erode as utilization drops
Savings degrade as usage fluctuates
Cloud Capital GSR
Fixed rate regardless of utilization
Your rate stays fixed. Cloud Capital absorbs the variance.
“We didn’t need to re-architect or compromise. Cloud Capital worked with the environment we had, and we gained predictability from day one.”
Wouter Hendricks, CFO @ Shiftmove
Cloud Capital builds your commitment coverage in four steps. Each step is reviewed and approved by your team before any commitment is purchased.
Commit 50% of total committable spend
Commit 50% of what's left
Commit 50% of what's left
Commit the remainder
The term mix for each step (1-year, 3-year, or blended) is based on your risk tolerance, savings targets, and forecast confidence. As your business changes, the remaining steps adjust to match.

Commitment performance, forecast refinement, and new optimization opportunities as your cloud footprint evolves.
Cloud Capital uses your forecast and our risk models to surface commitment proposals when new opportunities arise. You review and approve every one before it's purchased. Once live, you see usage, commitment cost, on-demand cost, savings, and savings rate for every billing period.
Before Cloud Capital, 100% of commitment risk sits with the customer. After, Cloud Capital carries it. The Risk view shows exactly how much exposure you hold versus how much Cloud Capital absorbs, month by month. The goal is simple: your risk goes to zero.
Coverage shows the percentage of your committable spend that's actually committed. Low coverage means savings opportunities are on the table. Cloud Capital tracks this continuously and proposes new commitments as opportunities emerge.
See your total savings, effective savings rate, and a month-by-month breakdown of where savings come from. Everything is visible: what Cloud Capital's commitments saved you, and how your savings have grown over time.
Cloud Capital commits our own capital to AWS on your behalf. If those commitments underperform, we lose money. If they perform, we earn a share of the savings we generate for you. We carry the risk because our business depends on getting this right.
