Development Environment

Description

Running notebook instances in ModelArts development environments use compute and storage resources, which are billed. For details, see Table 1.

EVS is still billed even after the notebook instance is stopped. To stop billing, delete the notebook instance.

Compute resource fee:
- If dedicated resource pools are used for running notebook instances, compute resources are not billed.
- If public resource pools are used for running notebook instances, compute resources are billed.
Storage resource fee: fee for storing data in OBS, EVS, or SFS

**Table 1** Billing items
Billing Item		Description	Billing Mode	Billing Formula
Compute resource	Public resource pools	Usage of compute resources (vCPUs and GPUs) For details, see ModelArts Pricing Details.	Pay-per-use	Specification unit price x Number of compute nodes x Usage duration
Compute resource	Dedicated resource pools	Fees for dedicated resource pools are paid upfront upon purchase. There are no additional charges for running notebook instances. For details about fees for dedicated resource pools, see Dedicated Resource Pool.	N/A	N/A
Storage resource	EVS	EVS is used to store data generated for running notebook instances. The default disk size is 5 GB. You are billed by GB from the time when a notebook instance is created to the time when it is deleted. For details, see EVS Pricing Details. CAUTION: EVS resources for storing data are continuously billed. To stop billing, delete the data stored in EVS.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly	Specification unit price x Purchase duration x Purchase quantity
	SFS	SFS is used to store data generated for running notebook instances. For details, see SFS Pricing Details. CAUTION: SFS resources for storing data are continuously billed. To stop billing, delete the data stored in SFS.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly	Pay-per-use: Specification unit price x Purchase duration Yearly/Monthly: Specification unit price x Purchase duration x Purchase quantity
	Object Storage Service (OBS)	OBS is used to store input and output data generated for running notebook instances. For details, see OBS Pricing Details. CAUTION: OBS resources for storing data are continuously billed. To stop billing, delete the data stored in OBS.	Pay-per-use Yearly/Monthly	Creating an OBS bucket is free of charge. You pay only for the storage capacity and duration you actually use.

Billing Example

The following prices are for reference only. For the actual prices, see pricing details for each service.

Example: Using a public resource pool; billing items: compute resources and EVS storage

Assume that you create a notebook instance on April 1, 2023 at 10:00:00. A public resource pool with flavor CPU: 8 vCPUs 32GB and one compute node is used, along with a 5 GB disk. (Unit price: $0.573 USD/hour). Then, you delete the notebook instance at 13:00:00 on the same day. The billing items are compute and storage resources. The fee for running this notebook instance is calculated as follows:

Resource fee = Compute resource fee + Storage fee = $0.573 USD/hour x 1 x 3 hours = $1.719 USD

In conclusion, the fee for running the notebook instance = $1.719 USD.

Example: Using a dedicated resource pool; billing item: EVS storage

Assume that you create a notebook instance on April 1, 2023 at 10:00:00. A dedicated resource pool and a 5 GB disk are used. You delete the data stored in EVS on April 2, 2023 at 10:00:00. The billing item is EVS storage. The fee for running the notebook instance is as follows:
