Which term describes usage that would result in savings by being covered with a reservation?

• A. Covered usage
• B. Coverable usage
• C. Unblended rates
• D. Blended rates

Answer: (B)

Coverable usage describes the portion of your cloud usage that can be discounted by applying a reservation. It refers to workloads that are predictable and long-lived enough to justify a reservation, so when you cover that usage with a reservation, you realize savings. Blended rates mix prices from covered and uncovered usage, which hides potential savings. Unblended rates show the per-unit price separately but don’t indicate which portion could be covered by reservations. Covered usage would be the portion already covered by reservations, not the potential savings you could achieve by applying a reservation to eligible workloads. Hence, coverable usage is the correct term for usage that would yield savings if covered by a reservation.
