Maximize Google Cloud savings with minimal commitment risk
ProsperOps automates advanced discount strategies for Google Cloud for consistent maximal savings without the risk of being locked in to long-term commitments.
Why automate Committed Use Discounts (CUD) with ProsperOps?
Many FinOps practitioners are leaving significant savings on the table by being too conservative with their CUD coverage. ProsperOps maximizes savings on your hourly Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, and Cloud SQL rates by automating advanced CUD portfolio strategies that minimize commitment risk and enable savings greater than the 90th percentile.
Minimize risk while maximizing savings
Ensure you’re always paying the lowest possible hourly rate for your Google Cloud workloads while minimizing commitment risk.
Build without financial constraints
Enable both resource and discount flexibility in parallel to maximize savings without putting financial limitations on technical decision-making.
Reserve human capital for your highest priorities
Protect your practitioners time so they can stay focused on your highest FinOps priorities that require human collaboration and strategic decision making.

How Automated Discount Management for Google Cloud works
Data ingestion
Billing data from your environment is securely ingested to determine your optimal portfolio strategy for resource-based CUDs vs spend-based CUDs. All ProsperOps requires is least-privilege IAM permissions to your billing account to manage your portfolio.
Workload monitoring
Trends in workload usage patterns are observed and monitored to understand volatility and cyclicality. We continuously reassess both historical and current usage patterns 24-7 to maintain an always-optimized portfolio strategy.
Optimal Coverage
Optimal coverage points are calculated and maintained on a weekly-basis, adjusting to changing usage patterns and discount rates to consistently optimize coverage for maximum savings. Portfolio reallocations happens automatically with no intervention required from engineering or finance teams.
Adaptive Laddering
CUDs are progressively purchased and laddered in small increments until the optimal coverage point is reached. Spreading commitments in small purchases over an extended period of time minimizes commitment lock in risk (CLR). Small adjustments to the portfolio ensure ProsperOps is capable of providing optimal CUD utilization and coverage.
Risk Mitigation
Maximum saving benefits are maintained while reducing commitment lock-in risk is overtime. This enables the technical flexibility to scale resources down if usage suddenly changes and prevents future overcommitment while maintaining aggressive CUD coverage.
ProsperOps is probably one of the simplest implementations I’ve had in our environment. The deployment was seamless, and we achieve savings without engineering impact or additional resources.

“Having ProsperOps allows us to be on the offensive when it comes to cloud services and resource decisions. For example, if one cloud is offering AI services that are a better fit for the use cases we need, we have the option and confidence to double down there.”
