Billing Examples

Scenario 1

On Mar 15, 2023, CAE hosted a microservice application and provided services for users.

  • Specifications: one 2 vCPU | 4 GiB component and two 1 vCPU | 2 GiB components.
  • Running: The application started at 10:00:00 and stopped at 15:00:00 every day. During peak hours (11:00:00-12:30:00), the 2 vCPU | 4 GiB component expanded to five instances, and the 1 vCPU | 2 GiB components expanded to three instances. During off-peak hours, each component required two instances to process services. 2.56 GB of traffic data was used in total.
Billing Duration
  • Off-peak hours: 210 min/day x 15 days = 3,150 min
  • Peak hours: 90 min/day x 15 days = 1,350 min
  • Traffic: 2.56 GB/day x 15 days = 38.4 GB

Formula

Billing Cycle

Price

Pay-per-use

vCPU: Instance specification unit price x Instance specifications x Usage duration

Monthly

vCPU: $0.0809 USD/core-hour x 15,000 core-hours = $1,213.5 USD/month

Memory: Instance specification unit price x Instance specifications x Usage duration

Memory: $0.00885 USD/GiB-hour x 30,000 GiB-hours = $265.5 USD/month

Traffic: Traffic unit price x Traffic volume

Traffic: $116.736 USD/TB x 1 TB = $116.736 USD/month

Total

$1,595.736 USD/month
