What it is
Contract Commitment Model represents the operational behavior and consumption flexibility of a contract commitment. This field distinguishes between rigid, "use-it-or-lose-it" obligations (typically hourly) and flexible, aggregate-based agreements that accommodate variable usage patterns. Contract Commitment Model has two possible values: Continuous and Discontinuous. Continuous models (e.g., reserved instances, savings plans) represent a flat, constant "floor" of commitment where any dip in usage results in immediate, unrecoverable waste. Discontinuous models (e.g., enterprise agreements, SaaS minimum spend agreements) represent a broader, more flexible bucket where the commitment is "spikier": the usage can fluctuate wildly, but as long as the aggregate hits the target (or the true-up handles the variance), the commitment is satisfied. In either case, the interval of the commitment is
Allowed values
| Continuous | A flat, constant "floor" of commitment (e.g., RIs, Savings Plans). Coverage is applied at a fixed rate per Contract Commitment Fulfillment Interval (usually hourly), and benefits are not carried over to subsequent intervals. |
| Discontinuous | A flexible, aggregate commitment (e.g., Enterprise Agreements, SaaS Minimum Spend). Coverage is measured over a broad window or against a total monetary value. |
