Committed volume of services

A committed volume of services (CVoS) is an agreement to receive a guaranteed discount for consuming a certain amount of Yandex Cloud services within 6 months or 1 year.

If you are sure that your consumption of the Yandex Cloud services is going to be stable and predictable, you can purchase a CVoS and save on your resource expenses. CVoS applies to all clouds of your billing account.

Discount amountDiscount amount

The amount of the guaranteed discount depends on the amount of service resources that you plan to use and the CVoS validity period. The longer the CVoS validity period, the greater the discount.
