Fixed Cost and
Maximum of Memory
Usage and Memory
Reservation
This policy takes into account all the fixed costs associated with an entity, the
maximum of used and reserved units of memory for the entity, and the actual
utilization of other chargeable computing resources by the entity for calculating
the total cost. The total memory units to be charged is calculated in the same
way as specified for the Maximum of Usage and Reservation billing policy. The
expression for the billing policy is as follows:
memory = max(usage, reservation);
other resources = usage;
fixed costs = include;
vCPU Count and
Memory Size
This policy takes into account the number of virtual CPUs and the total amount
of memory allocated to the virtual machine on the ESXi host, and the actual
utilization of other chargeable computing resources for calculating the total
cost. All fixed costs are ignored. The expression for the billing policy is as
follows:
vCPU count = usage;
memory = size;
other resources = usage;
Fixed Cost and vCPU
Count and Memory Size
This policy takes into account all the fixed costs associated with an entity, the
number of virtual CPUs and the total amount of memory allocated to the virtual
machines on the ESXi host, and the actual utilization of other chargeable
computing resources by the entity for calculating the total cost. The expression
for the billing policy is as follows:
vCPU count = usage;
memory = size;
other resources = usage;
fixed costs = include;
