VMware-based public cloud payment and pricing model
Balance
To pay for public cloud resources, depending on the type of balance in the account, the following is used single balance or VMware-based cloud balance.
You can pay for the public cloud in a number of ways types of funds: basic funds, bonuses or VC bonuses.
Before connecting to the public cloud (creating a virtual data center) top up for a minimum of 1,000 ₽.
To always have enough money on your balance, you can set up balance notifications and autoreplenishment.
Payment Model
VMware-based public cloud is paid on a pay-as-you-go model — pay per consumed resources is deducted every hour. Money starts to be deducted from the balance after successful creating a virtual data center.
If you're create templates vApp, you pay for storage resources — all disks of virtual machines of this template.
If all virtual machines in the virtual data center are powered off, Edge routers, networks, routed addresses, and licenses continue to be charged. If you shut down one virtual machine out of several, disk usage charges continue.
You can stop payment by opting out of the public cloud — to do so delete virtual data centers.

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.
To regain access top up.
If you don't recharge:
- within 5 days — virtual machines will be shut down;
- within 14 days — all virtual machines and other resources will be deleted without possibility of recovery.
Prices
To view resource prices and calculate the approximate cost of a VMware-based public cloud using the calculator, please go to selectel.ru.
When calculating the cost, all virtual machine configuration parameters (vCPU, RAM, disk size) are summed up. For stopped virtual machines, only disks are taken into account. Once an hour, the maximum value of resource amounts is selected and multiplied by the resource cost per hour, which will be deducted from the balance.
View Consumption
To see the cost of your infrastructure, consumption and payment for cloud resources, go to control panels under VMware-based cloud → Consumption.
Present value
Present Value is the amount of money that the current VMware cloud infrastructure configuration consumes per month, day, or hour.
The current cost of resources can be viewed in control panels under VMware-based cloud → Consumption → tab Present value.
Consumption and payment schedules
Graphs of consumption and payment for computing resources can be viewed in control panels under VMware-based cloud → Consumption → tab Schedule of Expenditures.
You can see the consumption and payment of resources and sort them by time period.
To upload consumption and payment details in the format of .csv, press Download CSV and select how the rows will be grouped in the upload (by hours, days, weeks, months, years).
All of them resource locks are displayed on consumption schedules and payment schedules (tabs Consumed and Paid).
