Table 5. Daily Cost Drivers
Cost Driver Calculated Cost
Memory Allocated memory (GB) multiplied by the daily memory cost per gigabyte specified in the cost
profile associated with the virtual datacenter on which a component machine is provisioned
CPUs Number of allocated CPUs multiplied by the daily CPU cost specified in the cost profile
associated with the virtual datacenter on which a component machine is provisioned
Storage Allocated storage (GB) multiplied by the storage cost per gigabyte specified in one of the
following places:
n
the cost profile associated with the virtual datacenter on which a component machine is
provisioned
n
The storage cost profile on the datastore on which a component machine is provisioned
The cost specified in a storage cost profile for a specific datastore overrides the storage cost
specified in a cost profile on the compute resource.
Blueprint cost (vApp
component)
The value for daily cost specified in the vApp component blueprint is added to the total cost of
each component machine.
This value can represent a markup for using the machine in addition to the resources consumed
by the machine.
Blueprint cost (vApp) The value for daily cost specified in the vApp blueprint is added to the total cost of the vApp.
This value can represent a markup for using the vApp in addition to the costs of the component
machines.
Lease cost is calculated as daily cost multiplied by the total number of days in the lease period, if
applicable.
Cost-to-date is calculated as daily cost multiplied by the number of days a vApp is provisioned.
How Cost Is Displayed
The vApp cost appears at various stages of the request and provisioning life cycle and is updated
according to the current information in the request or on the provisioned item.
Daily cost and lease cost appear at all stages of the lifecycle. After the vApp is provisioned, the cost-to-
date also appears.
