Field | Description |
|---|---|
Currency | The currency for this location (datacenter or public cloud region) |
Hypervisor Datastores GB | Price of hypervisor datastores per gigabyte. In public cloud regions, the platform does not use this value |
Networks | Price per network. (The platform always creates a private network for each virtual datacenter) |
Public IPs | Price per public IP address reserved |
NAT IPs | Price per NAT IP address reserved |
CPU | Price per virtual CPU core for deployed virtual machines. If the location uses hardware profiles, pricing does not use this value. |
CPU on | Price per virtual CPU core when virtual machine is powered ON |
CPU off | Price per virtual CPU core when virtual machine is powered OFF |
Memory (GB) | Price of virtual memory in GB for deployed virtual machine. If the location uses hardware profiles, pricing does not use this value. |
Memory on | Price of virtual memory in GB when virtual machine is powered ON or OFF |
Virtual machine | Fee per VM in addition to charges for other VM items |
Virtual machine on | Fee per VM in addition to charges for other VM items |
Repository (GB) | Price of template repository use in GB for virtual machine templates. The platform does not include conversions. In public cloud regions, the platform does not use this value |
Backup (GB) | Price per gigabyte of backup used. See Backup prices for more details, which is the total size of valid (non-expired) backups in GB. |
Anti-Affinity | Price per VM deployed in anti-affinity layer. In public cloud regions, the platform does not use this value |
Firewall | Price per firewall attached to VM |
Load balancer | Price per load balancer attached to VM |
DR protected VM | Price per VM protected by Disaster Recovery |

In a private cloud datacenter, datastore tiers set service levels for storage. See Manage datastore service levels with datastore tiers.
...
Persistent storage
In private cloud, you can set prices for the persistent storage tiers. In public cloud regions, the platform automatically imports the storage tiers from the providers so you can price them.
...
In private cloud datacenters and VCD public cloud regions, you can set prices for backup policies. You can also set prices for backup policies for size per GB that will have priority over datacenter backup size pricing.
...
When users request a pricing estimate for their virtual appliance, the platform will include the price of the backup policies of each VM in the VM_PRICES list.
The platform can bill backups with a monthly fixed cost per policy and/or a separate cost for backup size.
In version 6.1, the accounting process saves the usage of backup policies and backup size in GB. To calculate the backup size, it adds up the total size of valid (non-expired) backups in GB.
For example, a customer has a VM with 50 GB of hard disk, and the size of their non-expired backups is 42 GB. And the customer is using a daily backup policy, with a backup policy price of $20. The the backup price per GB is $1. In Abiquo 6.1+, the customer will pay $20 + ($42 * $1) = $62 per month.

Before version 6.1, with the platform did not account for backup usage, only the backup policy. With the backup price (GB) for the backup policy, the platform used the VM disk size in GB in the platform to calculate the bill. For the above example, in previous versions of Abiquoexample, a customer uses a backup policy with a price of $20 and a price per GB of $1. For a VM with 50 GB of hard disk, and non-expired backups with a size of 42 GB, the customer would pay $20 + (50 * $1) = $70 per month. |
