Tariffication

About tariffication

The cost of using the service instance depends on the selected tariff plan and options. It is reflected in the service configuration wizard and consists of two parts:

  • The cost of using the service, it is reflected in the Tariff plans tab.
  • For image-based services — the cost of the infrastructure, it is reflected in the section Details.

The total cost will be displayed at the last step of connecting the service.

There are two types of tariff plans available for charging services:

  • The cost is fixed.
  • Payment is debited once in the reporting period on the date of activation of the service.

If there are not enough funds when debiting, the instance status changes:

  • If a free promo tariff is available for an instance, the instance is forcibly transferred to it.
  • If a free promo tariff is not available for an instance, the instance is blocked for use until funds are replenished.

Charged

For SaaS and image-based services:

  • Application of paid tariff plan options. Tariff option — a specific parameter of the tariff plan.
  • Virtual project resources used for backup or recovery.
  • Other services provided within the service (the final set depends on the vendor's service).

For image-based services, VK Cloud virtual resources deployed to maintain the service infrastructure are charged: VMs, disks, networks, routers. The full list of required resources is available when connecting the service instance.

Not charged

  • Use of the personal account of any of the vendor's services.
  • Performing basic operations with the service instance: restart, delete.
  • Network traffic to maintain infrastructure.
  • Use of the service when choosing a promotional tariff.
