Re: Calculation basis of CPU usage?

Base-rate calculation includes: time interval* rate cost* used units* rate factor.

 

 

Performing this calculation on the organization vDC for CPU(allocation), with a base rate of $0.1USDGHz/hour

and no rate factor: 2 hours* $0.02 USD GHz/hour* 10GHz* 1.0 = $0.4 USD.

 

 

Doing the same for memory (allocation) with a base rate of $0.5USDGB/hour and no rate factor yields the

following result: 2 hours* $0.05 USD GB/hour* 20GB* 1.0 = $2 USD.

 

 

If the billing policy is set to charge based on usage instead of allocation, the used units is the usage value for the

resource that is obtained from vCenter Server.

 

 

At the virtual machine level, the billing policy dictates whether costs are applied for the entire report duration or

for only the duration when a virtual machine is powered on.
