Doris Billing Examples
Billing Scenario
A user purchased a pay-per-use Doris cluster on March 18, 2023, 15:00:00 and used the cluster for one hour. After 0.5 hour, the user changed the specifications of the FE node from 8 vCPUs and 16 GB memory to 8 vCPUs and 32 GB memory. The user changed the cluster to yearly/monthly on March 18, 2023, 15:59:59 for a long-term use. The validity period was one month, and the cluster expired at 23:59:59 on April 18, 2023. This section shows how to count the total fee for using this cluster. Suppose the cluster specifications are as follows:
- FE node specifications
- Compute: 8U16G
- Storage: High I/O and 300 GB/Node
- Nodes: 5
- BE node specifications
- Compute: 8U16G
- Storage: High I/O and 400 GB/Node
- Nodes: 3
Billing Analysis
Billing Mode |

Billing Cycle |
Price |
---|---|---|---|
Pay-per-use billing (before specification change) |
Compute unit fee: Unit price of a compute unit x Number of nodes |
Hourly fee |
FE nodes: $0.4256 USD/hour (Unit price of a compute unit) × 5 (Node quantity) × 1 hour = $2.128 USD BE nodes: $0.4256 USD/hour (Unit price of a compute unit) x 3 (Node quantity) x 1 hour = $1.2768 USD |
Disk fee: Disk unit price x Capacity x Number of nodes |
FE nodes: $0.0001 USD/hour (Unit price) x 300 GB (Disk capacity) x 5 (Node quantity) x 0.5 hour (Usage duration) = $0.075 USD BE nodes: $0.0001 USD/hour (Unit price) x 400 GB (Disk capacity) x 3 (Node quantity) x 0.5 hour (Usage duration) = $0.06 USD |

Total fee: $3.5398 USD |

Pay-per-use billing (after specification change) |
Compute unit fee: Unit price of a compute unit x Number of nodes |
Hourly fee |
FE nodes: $0.532 USD/hour (Unit price of a compute unit) x 5 (Node quantity) x 1 hour = $2.66 USD BE nodes: $0.4256 USD/hour (Unit price of a compute unit) x 3 (Node quantity) x 1 hour = $1.2768 USD |
Disk fee: Disk unit price x Capacity x Number of nodes |
FE nodes: $0.0001 USD/hour (Unit price) x 300 GB (Disk capacity) x 5 (Node quantity) x 1 hour (Usage duration) = $0.15 USD BE nodes: $0.0001 USD/hour (Unit price) x 400 GB (Disk capacity) x 3 (Node quantity) x 1 hour (Usage duration) = $0.12 USD |

Total fee: $4.2068 USD |

Yearly/Monthly billing |
Compute unit fee: Unit price of a compute unit x Number of nodes |
Monthly fee |
FE nodes: $255.36 USD/month (Unit price of a compute unit) x 5 (Node quantity) = $1276.80 USD BE nodes: $204.24 USD/month (Unit price of a compute unit) x 3 (Node quantity) = $612.72 USD |
Disk fee: Disk unit price x Capacity x Number of nodes |
FE nodes: 0.04 USD/month (Unit price) x 300 (Disk capacity: GB) x 5 (Node quantity) = $60 USD BE nodes: 0.04 USD/month (Unit price) x 400 (Disk capacity: GB) x 3 (Node quantity) = $48 USD |

Total |
Total fee: $1997.52 USD |
From March to April, the total fee of the Doris cluster is 4.2068+1997.52=2001.7268 USD.

- Doris clusters are charged by hour. The smallest billing unit for compute unit usage is one hour, and partial hours are counted as full hours.
- Change the billing rules of a pay-per-use cluster:
- Disk billing: For the initial half-hour following a disk specification change, billing will be based on the original disk configuration. Subsequently, billing will reflect the new disk specifications.
- CU billing: Similarly, for the first half-hour after a change to the compute unit configuration, billing will be based on the original CU specifications. Thereafter, billing will be calculated according to the updated CU specifications.
- Periodic Settlement of Pay-per-Use Products:
- Settlement by hour: Huawei Cloud calculates the fee based on your usage every hour and deducts the fee from your account. For example, fees incurred from 8:00 to 9:00 are usually deducted before 10:00.
- Settlement by month: Huawei Cloud calculates the fee based on your usage and deducts the fee of the month at the beginning of the next month. For example, fees incurred from 00:00:00 on April 1, 2019 to 23:59:59 on April 30, 2019 are usually deducted at about 01:00:00 on May 1, 2019.
