Today, AWS announces target coverage analysis in Savings Plans Purchase Analyzer, a capability in AWS Billing and Cost Management that helps you plan your Savings Plans purchases based on your coverage target. Savings Plans Purchase Analyzer helps you evaluate different purchase scenarios by estimating the potential impact of Savings Plans purchases on cost, coverage, utilization, and savings. With target coverage analysis, you can set a specific percentage of On-Demand spend to be covered by Savings Plans. Savings Plans Purchase Analyzer uses your historical usage to recommend a new purchase
