Optional Configurations for
Multi-Machine Services 3
You can create and configure optional cost profiles to give you more control over computing the cost of
the multi-machine services.
For information about how to create and configure cost profiles for the component machines, see the
following documents:

Cost Information for Multi-Machine Services
The cost of a multi-machine service is based on the cost of its component machines and any markup
added to the multi-machine service.
Cost Calculation for Multi-Machine Services
The daily cost of a multi-machine service is based on the costs of its component machines and the cost
specified in the multi-machine service blueprint.
Table 3‑1. Daily Cost Drivers
Cost Driver Calculated Cost
Component machine cost Total cost of all the component machines in the multi-machine service. The factors that contribute
to the component machine cost depend on the type of machine. For details about how costs for
different machine types are calculated, see the IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms, IaaS
Configuration for Physical Machines, or IaaS Configuration for Cloud Platforms.
Blueprint cost (multi-machine
service)
The value for daily cost specified in the multi-machine blueprint is added to the total cost of the
multi-machine service. This value can represent a markup for using the multi-machine service 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 multi-machine service was
provisioned.
