VMware-based disaster recovery to the cloud payment and pricing model
Balance
To pay for disaster recovery to a VMware-based cloud (DRaaS), depending on the type of balance in the account, a single balance or a VMware-based cloud balance is used.
You can pay for the public cloud with different types of funds: basic funds, bonuses.
Refill your balance before ordering or setting up disaster recovery.
To ensure that you always have enough money on your balance, you can set up balance notifications and auto-replenishment.
Payment Model
DRaaS is paid on a pay-as-you-go model — every hour an amount is deducted for the consumed resources of the public cloud where the replicated virtual machines are hosted. Money starts to be debited from the moment the virtual data center is created.
DRaaS is billed as long as the Selectel cloud is storing replicated virtual machines, even if they are powered off.For powered off machines, 30% of the vCPU and RAM cost is charged, the remaining resources are charged at full cost.
To stop paying, disable replication and delete the virtual data center.
Blocking of resources if there is not enough money on the balance
If there is not enough money on the balance to pay for the consumed resources, access to the virtual data center is suspended. At the same time, public cloud resources (vCPU, memory, disks, Edge routers, IP addresses, Direct Connected subnets) continue to be charged.
Top up your balance to restore access.
If you do not top up within 14 days, all virtual machines and other resources will be deleted with no possibility of recovery.
Prices
To see prices for resources and calculate the approximate cost of using DRaaS using the calculator, visit selectel.ru.
The cost of DRaaS is made up of the cost of public cloud resources:
- number of virtual machines for which DRaaS is connected;
- vCPU and RAM;
- disks;
- Edge routers;
- IP addresses;
- the number of days of cloud operation in the event of an accident.
View Consumption
You can view consumption of all public cloud resources, including DRaaS resources, in the Control panel: from the top menu, click Products → VMware-based Cloud → Consumption, see VMware-based Public Cloud Payment Model and Pricing for details.
Reporting documents
After the DRaaS usage charges are debited, you can get reporting documents.
