Overview

CloudPond provides you with various resources of different billing modes.

Billing Items

CloudPond cloud services consist of core services and advanced services. The billing items of core services consist of computing resources, storage resources, network resources (free), and Elastic IP (EIP) used for communication between edge sites and the central cloud.

For details, see Table 1.

**Table 1** Billing items
Category	Billing Item	Description
Core cloud services	Compute resources	You pay only for the compute resources required for running your workloads on premises, including vCPUs and memory. For details, see Compute Resource Specifications.
	Storage resources	You pay only for the disks storing your service data on premises. There are four tiers of fixed storage capacity. For details, see Storage Resource Specifications.
	Network resources (free)	Network resources are free of charge. Local gateways: used for internal network communication between edge sites and on-premises systems. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): provides VPCs and subnets (including edge AZs). EIP: allows you to launch local services using public IP addresses of your data center. NOTE: The EIP service does not provide Huawei Cloud public IP addresses. You need to bind public IP addresses of your data center before you use the EIP service.
	EIP (communication between edge sites and the central cloud)	You need to purchase resources in the EIP service for communication between edge sites and the central cloud.

For CloudPond advanced services, their billing modes and prices of each specification vary by services.
