To estimate your service costs, see the pricing in this section.

The 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.

All prices below do not include VAT.

What goes into the cost of using Serverless ContainersWhat goes into the cost of using Serverless Containers

In Serverless Containers, you pay for the number of container invocations, computing resources allocated for the application, downtime of provisioned instances, and outgoing traffic.

Computing resources are billed based on the number of processor cores (vCPUs), the level of core performance, memory allocated for the application, and application running time:

  • The number of cores specified when creating a revision is measured in vCPUs and is a positive real number.
  • The core performance level specified when creating a revision is measured in %.
  • The memory size specified when creating a revision is measured in GB.
  • The total container time is measured in hours and is rounded up to a multiple of 100 ms.

Warning

You are only charged for the container invocations that have caused your application to run.

Cost calculation formulaCost calculation formula

Monthly cost = $0.028800 × Memory (GB) × Invocation processing time (Hours) + $0.043200 × Number of cores × Invocation processing time (Hours) + $0.144000 × Millions of invocations

The following is offered at no extra charge each month:

  • The first 1000000 container invocations.
  • The first 10 GBxhour of RAM usage when processing requests.
  • The first 5 vCPU×hour of RAM usage when processing requests.

After you spend the free amount of services, you will be charged at the applicable rate. The unused balance of free services is reset at the end of the month.

Examples of cost calculationExamples of cost calculation

Example of calculating the cost of a container with the following parameters:

  • Amount of memory specified when creating a revision: 2 GB.
  • Number of cores: 20% vCPU.
  • Number of container invocations: 3,000,000.
  • Execution time of each invocation: 150 ms.

$0.028800 × (2 × (150 / 3,600,000) × 3,000,000 – 10) + $0.043200 × (0.2 × (150 / 3,600,000) × 3,000,000 – 5) + $0.144000 × ((3,000,000 – 1,000,000) / 1,000,000)

Total: $8.064000

Where:

  • $0.028800: Price per 1 GB×hour in excess of 10 GB×hour per month.
  • 2: Amount of RAM.
  • 150 / 3,600,000 converts milliseconds to hours, as RAM usage time is calculated in GB×hour.
  • 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
  • 10: RAM usage time free of charge.
  • $0.043200: Price per 1 hour of CPU usage in excess of 5 vCPUs × hour per month.
  • 0.2: Number of vCPU cores.
  • 150 / 3,600,000 converts milliseconds to hours, as CPU usage time is calculated in GB×hour.
  • 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
  • 5: CPU usage time free of charge.
  • $0.144000: Price per 1 million container invocations in excess of 1 million per month.
  • 3,000,000: Number of container invocations.
  • 1,000,000: Subtracted because the first million calls are free of charge.
  • 1,000,000: Divisor to calculate the number of millions of container invocations.

Example of calculating the cost of a container with the following parameters:

  • Amount of memory specified when creating a revision: 2 GB.
  • Number of cores: 100% vCPU.
  • Number of container invocations: 3,000,000.
  • Execution time of each invocation: 150 ms.
