Commitments

North offers automated commitment management for AWS & Google Cloud, ensuring customers can enjoy maximum product discounting while eliminating their risk or term commitment underutilization.

Commitments used will vary on the product being covered & the cloud ecosystem, as the commitment programs within each ecosystem varry.

Mapping of North Commitment & Coverage Type by Ecosystem

North will ensure limited term commitment risk, enabling high coverage rates using two coverage models.

Managed by North

Refers to commitments using Norths Savings Pod system. Flexibility is ensured by removing unutilized commiments out of the customer billing org.

Insured by North

Refers to commitments where North will cover the hourly costs of any underutilization with cash-back or credits against your North invoice/fee. These commitments can be paid up to 100% of the monthly costs, out of pocket by North should the customer have 0% utilization(for example).

Please note that all commitment insurance and flexibbility terms are governed by our MSA. https://www.north.cloud/legal/terms-of-service
