Billing

The price of a CCE Autopilot cluster consists of the following parts: cluster management, pods, and cloud resources (VPC endpoints and other cloud resources).

The billing items marked with asterisks (*) are mandatory.

Image caches are supported in some regions. View the regions where image caches are supported on the console.

Table 1 Billing items of a CCE Autopilot cluster

Billing Item

Description

Billing Mode

Formula

*Cluster management

The expenditures for managing the cluster.

NOTE:

If a cluster is frozen, workloads in the cluster will be in the pending state and will not be rescheduled until the cluster is unfrozen.

Pay-per-use

Unit price of the cluster specification x Required duration

For details about the unit prices of cluster specifications, see Unit Prices in Pay-per-Use Billing.

*Pods

Billed based on the pod specifications (vCPU and memory) and storage capacity (ephemeral storage and image cache).

NOTICE:

If a specification is not supported, it will be automatically upgraded to a higher one. For example, if all containers in a pod require 2 vCPUs and 3 GiB of memory, the specification is automatically upgraded to 2 vCPUs and 4 GiB of memory. Specification Description lists the specifications supported by CCE Autopilot.

Pay-per-use and packages (CPU and/or memory packages)

Unit price of the pod specification x Required duration

For details about the unit prices, see Unit Prices in Pay-per-Use Billing.

*VPC endpoints

CCE Autopilot clusters access other cloud services such as SWR through VPC endpoints. Each VPC endpoint is billed based on the usage duration.

Pay-per-use

Unit price of the VPC endpoint x Required duration

NOTE:
  • If a VPC endpoint connects to a VPC endpoint service other than DNS or OBS, you will be billed for how long you use this VPC endpoint.
  • If a VPC endpoint connects to DNS or OBS, you will not be billed for this VPC endpoint.

See the pricing on the VPC Endpoint console.

Other cloud resources

Cloud service resources used by a cluster such as an elastic load balancer are billed based on their pricing rules, no matter whether these resources are automatically or manually created when the cluster is being created and used.

Although cloud service resources can be created on the CCE console, their billing items and bills are independent of those of CCE clusters.

Billing mode of each cloud service

For details, see Price Calculator.

Unit Prices in Pay-per-Use Billing

The CPU and memory prices of each pod are related to the pod type. CCE Autopilot clusters support general-computing and general-computing-lite pods. For details, see Specifying the Pod Type.

By default, 30 GiB of free ephemeral storage is allocated to each pod (with an IOPS upper limit of 2,500 and a burst limit of 16,000). Any storage space that exceeds the 30 GiB quota will be billed separately. Ephemeral storage and image caches are billed at the same price.
