# Billing

## PRIVATE CLOUD BILLING COMPONENTS

| **Component** | **Description** | **Ongoing Billing** |
|--------------|----------------|---------------------|
| **Host** | Runs your private cloud workloads. Billed for compute infrastructure and per-core license usage | ₹28,500/- per Month + ₹100/- per Physical Core per Month |
| **Storage** | Persistent block/object storage used within your private cloud workloads — whether attached to a node, LB, or provisioned independently | ₹5/- per GB per Hour |
| **Node** | Virtual machines or bare-metal compute nodes provisioned in your private cloud cluster | Included in one-time private cloud enablement cost |
| **Load Balancer (LB)** | Internal or external load balancer instances within your private cloud | Included in one-time private cloud enablement cost |
| **Auto Scale** | Dynamically adjusts the number of active nodes based on workload demand | Included in one-time private cloud enablement cost |
| **DBaaS** | Fully managed database and data streaming services within your private cloud. E2E takes care of provisioning, scaling, patching, backups, and availability so you can focus on applications | Included in one-time private cloud enablement cost |




## Host Billing

Host billing consists of **two types of charges** — **License Charges** and **Host Hourly Billing**.

### 1. License Charges
You are billed **₹100 per Physical Core per Month** as a license fee.  
This charge is applied based on the **number of physical CPU cores** on the host machine.

### 2. Host Hourly Billing
Each host also incurs a **base compute cost** of **₹28,500 per Month**.  
This cost covers the compute, and management overhead for running workloads on that host.

**Example Calculation**

If you have:
- **1 Host** with **16 Physical Cores**  
- **License Cost:** ₹100 × 16 = ₹1,600/month  
- **Host Cost:** ₹28,500/month  

**Total Host Billing per Month = ₹1,600 + ₹28,500 = ₹30,100**


## Storage Billing

Storage charges are calculated based on the **provisioned capacity** within your private cloud environment.  
You are billed **only for the time the storage is allocated** — whether or not it is actively used.  
This includes:
- Storage volumes attached to compute nodes
- Storage volumes attached to load balancers

**Example Calculation**  
If you provision:
- 200 GB storage attached to Node A  
- 300 GB storage attached to Node B  
- 100 GB storage attached to LB1  

**Total Storage:** 200 + 300 + 100 = **600 GB**

```
Billing Component: Storage
Rate: ₹5/- per GB per Hour
Size: 600 GB
Time: 15 Days
Price = 5 × 600 × (15 × 24) = 1080000 Rs
```
