2.6.0 Cloud Rate Optimization Domain

Within this domain, the organization works to define its pricing model goals, uses historical data to make pricing model adjustments by buying commitment based discounts, and works to manage the pricing aspects of services it is using in the cloud.

The Rate Optimization domain will contain the specialized capabilities to improve the manner in which we purchase cloud services, and ensure our pricing models, purchase options, and committed use are consistent with our goals.

At its core, this Domain answers the question: How can we change what we pay for things we’re buying in the cloud to achieve better price performance?
