ProsperOps Announces Autonomous Discount Management for Google Cloud Compute – Newswire

Leading FinOps automation platform helps organizations reduce cloud costs, generating over $1.5B in lifetime savings
AUSTIN, Texas, October 31, 2024 (Newswire.com) – Today, ProsperOps, a leading FinOps automation platform, is announcing general availability for Autonomous Discount Management (ADM) for Google Cloud Compute, supporting Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Cloud Run. This new service allows Google Cloud customers to achieve material savings while minimizing commitment lock-in risk through an automatically managed portfolio of resource-based Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) and spend-based Flexible CUDs.
Google Cloud is one of the fastest-growing cloud providers with 28.8% YoY growth in Q2 2024, alongside Azure and AWS. However, more than half of organizations do not leverage discount instruments (e.g., AWS Savings Plans, Azure Reserved Instances, Google Cloud Committed Use Discounts, etc.) to optimize rates and reduce costs, according to the 2024 Flexera State of Cloud Report. This means many organizations are leaving money on the table.
Managing Google Cloud CUDs to reduce compute costs can be a complex, time-consuming task that often results in suboptimal outcomes:
The need for automation is critical for FinOps teams — not only to alleviate these challenges but also to scale efficiently and tackle higher-order priorities. ProsperOps Autonomous Discount Management (ADM) for Google Cloud Compute remediates these issues by detecting usage patterns, creating a customized portfolio of Committed Use Discounts (based on factors such as existing commitments, risk tolerance,  etc.) and automatically executing actions to deliver cost savings outcomes, not just recommendations.
“In 2018, ProsperOps was formally established as the first automated cloud savings tool for AWS. After surpassing $1 billion of AWS Compute Usage Under Management last year, the expansion into Google Cloud was a natural progression with increasing customer demand,” said Erik Carlin, co-founder and chief product officer of ProsperOps. “By providing this support to companies whose DevOps and FinOps teams operate in Google Cloud, we can help them optimize their spend – simply and automatically.”
Key benefits with ADM for Google Cloud Compute include:
“ProsperOps automation helped us maximize savings while optimizing workloads. Its dynamic algorithms adjust coverage to adapt to usage changes in real-time. Automating Committed Use Discount management allowed us to focus more on rightsizing and other crucial optimization efforts,” said Marcus Zhao, SRE manager at Zenni Optical.
As of October 2024, ProsperOps has surpassed $1.5 billion in lifetime savings generated for customers.
