Aligining the right compute resources with actual requirements can reduce waste without impacting performance, potentially saving significant amount of cost. skie.io Compute R2 goes above and beyond by ensuring any downgrade or upgrade is aligned with your existing RI's and licensing strategies. For example, downgrading an m4.xlarge windows byol machine to m4.large will actually cost you more money if you have to provision a new m4 dedicated host. Similarly, if you have an existing reservation for an m4.xlarge RHEL machine, downgrading it will mean paying for the reservation and the new VM. Those examples highlight why it is important to connect the dots and look at the environment holistically. That's exactly what skie.io Smart R2 does.
