Use CloudCheckr CMx to get AWS Savings Plans purchase recommendations!

Our new AWS Savings Plans Recommendations report gives you the ability to create a detailed, customized list of purchasing recommendations, showing your potential savings over on-demand pricing.

The report consists of two key features:

• Dashboard-style panes where you can visualize your covered and uncovered spend.
• A recommendation builder where you can create customized recommendations based on user-defined filter criteria.  You can use this builder to compare similar recommendations side-by-side or create a menu of multiple options for review.

To access the report, navigate to Home > Cost Savings > SP Recommendations. You can also search for SP Recommendations in the report search bar at the top of the application.

Please note that the IAM Policy configured for your account must have ce:GetSavingsPlansPurchaseRecommendation permissions.
