Scott talks with Aran Khanna, co-founder and CEO of Archera, about a new category of cloud financial tooling: "Insured Commitments." Instead of locking into 1- or 3-year reserved instance contracts and hoping your usage matches, Archera offers commitments as short as 30 days. They get into the economics of cloud purchasing, how AI workloads are changing capacity planning, and what FinOps looks like in 2026.
