You can easily review these up-to-date projections at a glance on your homepage by clicking **Available Savings**, or by navigating directly to the [Commitments page](https://app.north.cloud/commitments), where we display detailed savings opportunities across different cloud products. #### **How to subscribe to savings:** Simply select the products you want to subscribe to or edit your current selections and click **Subscribe**. This triggers Arctic’s workflow to validate that your chosen subscription aligns with your projected spend. Our intelligent system then analyzes the full North.Cloud ecosystem, rebalancing and moving commitments as needed to maximize your savings. #### **What happens next?** Every North.Cloud customer is assigned a dedicated Customer Success Engineer (CSE). Your CSE will monitor your order, keep you updated on status, and guide you through the next steps. As part of the process, you’ll be invited to add specific North.Cloud-managed and owned "Savings Pods" to your environment. These pods are designed to automatically distribute discounts directly into your account, ensuring you benefit from savings as efficiently and securely as possible. #### Q: How are they removed if I don't need them anymore? A: North.Cloud's Arctic will automatically remove them. If requested, we can also remove them manually. Additionally, you hold complete control over these accounts and can boot them whenever deemed necessary. Our MSA still applies for non-emergency events. #### Q: Are there any concerns with adding your accounts? A: None. Learn more about the exact security practice put in place below. {% content-ref url="/pages/L0aiqGbCrEOCzmusQMhb" %} [Managed Savings Pods](/docs/getting-started/security/managed-savings-pods.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.north.cloud/docs/features/arctic/getting-started.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
