What goes into the cost of using Cloud DesktopWhat goes into the cost of using Cloud Desktop

The Cloud Desktop usage cost includes:

  • Computing resources:
    • Number of vCPUs
    • Amount of RAM
  • Disk type and size
  • Amount of outgoing traffic

In all calculations: 1 GB = 230 bytes, 1 MB = 220 bytes.

The monthly prices are based on 720 hours per month.

Using computing resourcesUsing computing resources

The cost of allocated computing resources is calculated based on how long the desktops were used: from when they get the CREATING (if being created) or STARTING (if starting) status until they are completely stopped. You are not charged for the time during which the desktops were stopped.

A desktop starts automatically once it is created.

Using disksUsing disks

You are charged for disks whether the desktops are running or not.

Cost calculation exampleCost calculation example

Here is an example of calculating the cost of using Cloud Desktop for one month, for a group of 10 desktops with the following configuration:

  • Computing resources: 2 x 50% vCPUs and 2 GB of RAM.
  • Boot disk: 50 GB SSD.
  • Data disk: 30 GB HDD.
  • Total operating time of all desktops over the month: 1,000 hours.

Calculating the cost of computing resources:

(₽0.83 × 2 + ₽0.43 × 2) × 1,000 = ₽2,520.00

Total: ₽2,520.00: Total cost of 1,000 hours of computing resource operation.

Where:

  • ₽0.83: Cost of using 50% vCPU per hour.
  • 2: Number of vCPUs.
  • ₽0.43: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.
  • 2: Amount of RAM (GB).
  • 1,000: Total operating time of all desktops in the group over the month.

Cost calculation for boot disks:

₽15.84 × 50 × 10 = ₽7,920.00

Total: ₽7,920.00: Cost of boot disk operation.

Where:

  • ₽15.84: Cost of using an SSD boot disk per 1 GB per month.
  • 50: Boot disk size (GB).
