Pricing for Compute Cloud
To calculate the cost of using the service, use the calculator or see the prices on this page.
Note
Currency of Service rates (prices) depends on the company you made a contract with:
- prices in US dollars are applicable to customers of Yandex Services AG,
- prices in Russian roubles are applicable to customers of Yandex.Cloud LLC.
What goes into the cost of using Compute Cloud
The cost of Compute Cloud usage is based on:
- 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
- The amount of outgoing traffic
- Public IP address
In all calculations, 1 GB = 230 bytes.
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 changes to RUNNING) until it is completely stopped. The time when the VM is stopped is not charged.
The VM starts automatically once it's created.
When creating a VM, you can specify a public IP address for it.
For information about external IP address usage pricing, see Pricing for Virtual Private Cloud in the Yandex Virtual Private Cloud service documentation.
Computing resources
When creating a VM, you specify the number of vCPUs and graphics accelerators (GPUs), as well as the basic level of core performance and the amount of RAM in GB. Read more in vCPU performance levels.
The basic level of core performance depends on the platform you select.
Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.
Operating systems
OS usage on a VM is also charged. 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.
Example of cost calculation
Let's compare the cost of running VMs on the Intel Broadwell platform with different vCPU performance levels.
Two VMs were created running Linux OS:
- 5% of vCPU and 1 GB RAM
- 100% of vCPU and 1 GB RAM
Both VMs have been running for 30 days.
VM cost with 5% vCPU:
5% vCPU = $0.002476/hour * 30 days * 24 hours = $1.782720
1 GB RAM = $0.003129/hour * 30 days * 24 hours = $2.252880
Total: $4.035600
VM Cost with 100% vCPU:
1 vCPU = $0.008996/hour * 30 days * 24 hours = $6.477120
1 GB RAM = $0.003129/hour * 30 days * 24 hours = $2.252880
Total: $8.730000
As you can see, the cost of the VM using 5% vCPU is about half as much as that of the VM using 100% vCPU.
Use of storage (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 disks regardless of whether the VM is running.
If you created an image or snapshot, you pay for the storage of this object separately depending on its size.
The cost is specified for one month of use. Billing occurs per second.
Usage Instance Groups
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 other services.
Using a dedicated host
The cost of a dedicated host depends on its type (processor model, number of cores, and RAM) and doesn't depend on the number of VMs running on it.
vCPUs and RAM of VMs running on a dedicated host are not charged.
Using additional resources, such as images from Cloud Marketplace or disks, are charged as usual.
Prices are shown for 1 hour of use. Billing occurs per second.
