Introduction

Updated on 2025-01-15 GMT+08:00

Huawei Cloud Cost Center provides various tools for you to group your costs in different ways. You can experiment with different tools to find out which way works best for your needs.

Supported Grouping Tools

  1. Basic tools: You can view your costs by linked account, enterprise project, or cost tag.

  2. Advanced tools: You can also create custom rules for grouping and splitting costs by cost category. If you have monthly-settled CDN expenditures billed by traffic, you can split the costs by domain name. If you have shared costs (such as those from shared resources, platform services, and untagged costs), you can allocate the costs proportionally to different enterprise projects within your organization.

Recommendations

  • User-based cost allocation: Costs are attributed to the actual user.

    For example, if you are using an enterprise member account and your master account is the payer account, then the relevant costs are still considered to be yours.

  • Amortization-based cost allocation: Costs are amortized over a set period of time.

    Amortized costs reflect the amounts prepaid for yearly/monthly subscriptions and reserved instances, which are amortized on a daily basis. For example, if you purchase a one-year cloud service at $365 USD, the amortized cost per day is $1 USD.

  • Cost splitting: Shared costs are split based on certain rules.
    • Proportionally: Your costs are allocated in proportion to the weight of each target.

      For example, if the cost of target B is $800 USD and that of target C is $200 USD, you can split costs based on a set proportion, such as B: C = 4:1. Then 80% of the costs will be allocated to target B and 20% to target C.

    • Evenly: Your costs are allocated evenly across different targets.

      For example, if there are two targets (A and B), then 50% of the costs will be allocated to target A and 50% to target B.

    • Custom: Your costs are allocated based on a percentage you define for each target value. The percentages must add up to 100%.
