While it may seem counterintuitive to think about renewal planning during an initial VMware Cloud deployment, it may have an impact on future discounts.
When a term commitment expires, the underlying hosts term commitment will revert to an on-demand billing. To prevent this reduction in discounting, monitor for expiring term commitments at least 90 days in advance. The VMware Cloud Notification Gateway can also be used to provide proactive alerting 30 days and 60 days prior to term commitment expiration.
