Public Cloud powered by VMware payment and pricing model
Balance
To pay for public cloud resources, depending on the balance type in your account, you use united-balance or VMware-based cloud balance.
You can pay for the public cloud with different types of funds: basic funds, bonuses or VK bonuses.
Before connecting to the public cloud (creating a virtual data center), top-up balance with a minimum of 1,000 ₽.
You can set up balance notifications and auto-replenishment to ensure that you always have enough money in your balance.
Payment Model
VMware-based public cloud is paid on a pay-as-you-go model — payment for resources consumed is deducted every hour. Money starts to be deducted from the balance after successful virtual data center creation.
If you create vApp templates, you pay for storage resources-all the virtual machine disks of that template.
If all virtual machines in the virtual data center are powered off, Edge routers, networks, routed addresses, and licenses continue to be billed. When you shut down one virtual machine out of several, disk usage charges continue.
You can stop the payment by opting out of the public cloud — to do so delete virtual data centers.
Please refer to the Terms of Use for details on payment.
Blocking 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. Meanwhile, public cloud resources (vCPU, memory, disks, Edge routers, IP addresses, Direct Connected subnets) continue to be charged.
To regain access, top up your balance.
If you don't top up the balance:
- 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, visit 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 counted. Once per hour, the maximum value of resource amounts is selected and multiplied by the resource cost per hour to be debited.
View consumption
You can view your infrastructure cost, consumption, and cloud resource charges in dashboard under Cloud powered by VMware → Consumption.
Current value
Present Value is the amount of money that the current VMware cloud infrastructure configuration consumes per month, day, or hour.
You can view the current resource cost in dashboard under Cloud powered by VMware → Consumption → Current Cost tab.
Consumption and payment schedules
Compute resource consumption and charge schedules can be viewed in dashboard under Cloud powered by VMware → Consumption → Cost graph tab.
You can see the consumption and payment of resources and sort them by time period.
All resource locks are displayed on consumption charts and payment charts (Consumed and Paid tabs).
Consumption report
You can generate and upload a report on the consumption of paid resources for any period of time.
You can generate a report in Control Panel under Cloud powered by VMware → Consumption → Consumption Report tab. In the report, you can display the cost of resources per year, month, week, day, or hour.
Reporting documents
After payment, you can receive accounting documents.
