Tip

To calculate the cost of using the service, use the calculator on the Yandex Cloud website or check the pricing data in this section.

Prices for service products are also available in the Price list.

Note

Currency of Service rates (prices) depends on the company you made a contract with:

  • Prices in US dollars are applicable to customers of Iron Hive doo Beograd (Serbia) or Direct Cursus Technology L.L.C. (Dubai).
  • Prices in Russian roubles are applicable to customers of Yandex.Cloud LLC.

What goes into the cost of using Compute CloudWhat goes into the cost of using Compute Cloud

The Compute Cloud usage cost includes:

  • VM computing resources:
    • Type and number of cores (vCPUs).
    • Number of graphics accelerators (GPUs).
    • Amount of RAM.
  • Operating systems.
  • Type and size of storage:
    • Disks
    • Images
    • Snapshots
  • Amount of outgoing traffic.
  • Public IP address.

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

The monthly prices are based on 720 hours per month.

VM usageVM usage

The cost of a VM depends on the allocated computing resources, operating system, and usage time. Attached disks and network usage are charged separately.

The cost is calculated for the time of using the VM, from the moment it is started (when its status switches to RUNNING) until it is completely stopped. The time when the VM is stopped is not charged.

The VM starts automatically once it is created.

When creating a VM, you can specify a public IP address for it.

For information about external IP address usage pricing, see Virtual Private Cloud pricing policy in the Yandex Virtual Private Cloud documentation.

Computing resourcesComputing resources

When creating a VM, specify the number of vCPUs and GPUs, as well as the basic core performance level and RAM in GB. For more information, see vCPU performance levels.

The basic level of vCPU performance depends on the platform you select.

Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.

Example of calculating the cost of computing resourcesExample of calculating the cost of computing resources

Let's compare the cost of running VMs on the Intel Ice Lake platform with different vCPU performance levels.

Two VMs were created running Linux OS:

  • 2 x 20% vCPUs and 2 GB of RAM.
  • 2 x 100% vCPUs and 2 GB of RAM.

Both VMs were running for 30 days.

VM cost with 20% vCPU:

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

720 × (2 × ₽0.4752 + 2 × ₽0.3024) = ₽1,119.744

Total: ₽1,119.744, cost of using a VM with 2 × 20% vCPU and 2 GB of RAM for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days.
  • 2: Number of 20% vCPUs
  • ₽0.4752: Cost of using 20% vCPU per hour.
  • 2: Amount of RAM (in GB)
  • ₽0.3024: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.

720 × (2 × ₸2.3760 + 2 × ₸1.5120) = ₸5,598.72

Total: ₸5,598.72, cost of using a VM with 2 × 20% vCPU and 2 GB of RAM for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days.
  • 2: Number of 20% vCPUs.
  • ₸2.3760: Cost of using 20% vCPU per hour.
  • 2: Amount of RAM (in GB).
  • ₸1.5120: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.

VM cost with 100% vCPU:

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

720 × (2 × ₽1.1340 + 2 × ₽0.3024) = ₽2,068.416

Total: ₽2,068.416, cost of using a VM with 2 × 100% vCPU and 2 GB of RAM for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days.
  • 2: Number of 100% vCPUs.
  • ₽1.1340: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
  • 2: Amount of RAM (in GB).
  • ₽0.3024: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.

720 × (2 × ₸5.67 + 2 × ₸1.5120) = ₸10,342.08

Total: ₸10,342.08, cost of using a VM with 2 × 100% vCPU and 2 GB of RAM for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days.
  • 2: Number of 100% vCPUs.
  • ₸5.67: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
  • 2: Amount of RAM (in GB).
  • ₸1.5120: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.

As you can see, the cost of the VM using 20% vCPU is almost half as much as that of the VM using 100% vCPU.

Operating systemsOperating systems

VM OS usage also comes at a charge. The cost depends on the OS license and the amount of computing resources. The core usage type selected for the VM also matters.

Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.

Using a Microsoft licenseUsing a Microsoft license

To learn how to use Microsoft licenses, see Microsoft licenses in Yandex Cloud.

Storage usage (disks, snapshots, and images)Storage usage (disks, snapshots, and images)

When creating a disk, you specify its size, meaning the amount of block storage the disk uses. The cost depends on the amount of time between when the disk is created and deleted, the amount of disk space, and the disk type selected during creation.

You are charged for using disks whether the VM is running or not.

If you created an image or snapshot, you pay for its storage separately depending on its size.

After deleting a VM instance, you will still be charged for disks, snapshots, and images. If you no longer need these resources, delete them.

The price covers one month of use. You are charged per second of usage.

Warning

Disks with installed Cloud Marketplace products contain the license IDs (product_ids) of these products.

If you connect such a disk to a VM as additional storage, you will be charged for the use of the Cloud Marketplace products in addition to the storage fee.

Instance Groups usageInstance Groups usage

Using Instance Groups is free of charge. You can create instance groups and use the storage and computing resources within the available limits.

All other Yandex Cloud services, such as VMs and external IP addresses, are charged as usual. Outgoing traffic is charged in the same way as in other services.

Dedicated host usageDedicated host usage

The cost of a dedicated host depends on its type, i.e., the processor model, the number of cores, the amount of RAM, the size and number of local SSDs, etc., and does not depend on the number of VMs running on it.

vCPUs and RAM of VMs running on a dedicated host are not charged.

Use of additional resources, such as images from Cloud Marketplace or network drives, is billed as usual.

Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.

Example of calculating the cost of a dedicated host

An intel-6338-c108-m704-n3200x6 dedicated host running for an hour is charged as follows:

Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)

You can get a guaranteed discount on service resource usage when you plan for six months or one year ahead. To see the resources you can get a discount on:

  1. Go to Yandex Cloud Billing.
  2. Click on the desired billing account.
  3. Select Committed volume in the left-hand menu.

A CVoS guarantees a discount on consumption but does not guarantee the availability of the resources you order. Read more about CVoS in the Yandex Cloud Billing documentation.

Compute Cloud provides two types of CVoS: on vCPUs and RAM. In the management console, you can see how much you can potentially save with CVoS at the current consumption level. You can also forecast your monthly payments for the required number of vCPUs and RAM.

Note

CVoS discount is only available for certain types of resources. A dash in the relevant CVoS columns under Prices for the Russia region means the resource is not supported. Currently, you cannot order storage or web traffic this way.

Prices for the Russia regionPrices for the Russia region

Note

Prices for Yandex Cloud resources vary based on the region. For more information about the available regions, see Regions.

The currency you can use to pay for the resources depends on which legal entity you entered into agreement with. For more information on creating an account, see Registering an account in Yandex Cloud.

All prices below include VAT.

CVoS adjusted price is only available for regular VMs.
