Compute Cloud pricing policy
To calculate the cost of using the service, use the calculator on the Yandex Cloud website or see the pricing in this section.
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 Cloud
The Compute Cloud usage cost is based on:
- VM computing resources:
- Type and number of cores (vCPUs).
- Number of graphics accelerators (GPUs).
- Amount of memory (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.
The monthly prices are based on 720 hours per month.
VM 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 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 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:
720 × (2 × $0.003520 + 2 × $0.002240) = $8.294400
Total: $8.294400, 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.
- $0.003520: Cost of using 20% vCPU per hour.
- 2: Amount of RAM (in GB).
- $0.002240: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM per hour.
VM cost with 100% vCPU:
720 × (2 × $0.008400 + 2 × $0.002240) = $15.321600
Total: $15.321600, 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.
- $0.008400: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
- 2: Amount of RAM (in GB).
- $0.002240: 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 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 license
To learn how to use Microsoft licenses, see Microsoft licenses in Yandex Cloud.
Storage usage (disks, snapshots, and images)
When creating a disk, you specify its size, meaning the amount of block storage that the disk occupies. The cost of the service 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 the storage of this object 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 usage
The Instance Groups component can be used 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 the same as in other services.
Dedicated 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:
| Resource | Cost per hour | Available | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU | $0.009462/vCPU | 108 vCPU | $1.021896 |
| RAM | $0.002506/GB | 704 GB | $1.764224 |
| Disk | $0.000098/GB | 19200 GB | $1.881600 |
| Total | $4.667720 |
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:
- Go to Billing.
- Click on the desired billing account.
- Choose Committed volume in the left-hand menu.
A CVoS guarantees a discount on usage, but does not guarantee the availability of the resources ordered. You can 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 region
Warning
Prices for Yandex Cloud resources vary from region to region. For more information about the available regions, see Regions.
The currency that can be used to pay for resources depends on which legal entity the user has entered into agreement with. For more information about account registration, see Registering an account in Yandex Cloud.
All prices below do not include VAT.
CVoS adjusted price is only available for regular VMs.
