Discover the Flexible Engine pricing as well as your monthly invoice

It is possible to provision Bare Metal servers in a few minutes on the technical console within the limits of available resources. In case of insufficient stock, a provisioning time of up to 4 months may apply. Billing for this service is monthly. For the first month, the BMS service will be invoiced on a pro rata basis from the day the service is activated until the end of the month.

In the previous example:
The unit price of a BMS o2.medium server is 1340€ excl. taxes/month.
The client used 4 BMS o2.medium servers during this month.

It is possible to provision Dedicated Cloud in a few minutes on the technical console within the limits of available resources. In case of insufficient stock, a provisioning time of up to 4 months may apply. Dedicated Cloud services are reserved for a minimum of one year. Cloud servers use system and data disks based on elastic volume service (EVS). However, it is possible to combine DeC computing services (dedicated hypervisors) with the Dedicated Storage Service (DSS).

The Cloud Container Engine service is billed on a per-use basis for the cluster in addition to the Flexible Engine resources provided by the user (ECS, EVS, SFS…). The price of the Cloud Container Engine depends on the type of cluster provisioned (cluster for virtual machines or for baremetal servers), the type of availability chosen (standard or high availability) and the maximum number of nodes (ECS or BMS) that can be provisioned in the cluster (50, 100, 200 nodes).

In the technical console, you select the type, availability mode and capacity of the cluster, and then billing is calculated from the time the cluster is created until it is deleted (rounded to the minute). It is also possible to put the cluster in hibernation in order to suspend this billing. It is recommended that you delete the cluster when it does not contain any nodes in operation to avoid unnecessary billing.

In the example above:
The cluster is of the virtual machine type. The availability is high.
The capacity of the cluster is 50 nodes. The hourly price for this type of cluster is 0.0300€ excl. taxes/min.
The client used his cluster for 1488 minutes.

We offer instances with or without OS license. These licenses are billed on a pay-per-use basis and pricing depends on the associated operating system (OS) and the type of instance chosen. The granularity of this service is per hour of license use.

In the example above:
For the instance c2.2xlarge, the price of the Windows OS is 0.3009€ excl. taxes/h.
The customer used his license for 743 hours.

It is possible to provision Dedicated Hosts in a few minutes on the technical console within the limits of available resources. In case of insufficient stock, a provisioning time of up to 4 months may apply. This service is billed monthly. For the first month, the DeH service will be billed on a pro-rata basis from the day the service is activated until the end of the month. When using a reserved DeH instance, the reserved rate applies the month following the subscription for the ordered duration.

In the previous example :
The unit price of a DeH c6_pro server is 2402,60 € HT/month.
The customer has used 2 DeH c6_pro servers during this month.

DDS service billing is composed of three elements:

• The cost of the ECS used by the DDS service (https://cloud.orange-business.com/nos-tarifs/elastic-cloud-server/), noted ECS DDS
• The cost of the DDS service (https://cloud.orange-business.com/nos-tarifs/document-database-service/ onglet DDS prices), noted Service DDS
• The cost of the DDS storage (https://cloud.orange-business.com/nos-tarifs/document-database-service/ onglet EVS DDS prices), noted Storage

There are three types of DDS nodes composed of one or more ECS:

• Mongos (1 ECS)
• Shard (3 ECS)
• Config (3 ECS)

The ” HISTO ” boxes do not have a load label or valuation, but there are lines ” Document Database Service ” / ” dds.mongodb.c6.large.2 ” with a load label ” c6.large.2 (MongoDB) ” which are the aggregation of all existing HISTO lines (all DDS clusters deployed in a project).

This is an example of the billing of the DDS service, the instances are billed at least. In this case, the customer used 11 ECS instances during the month for a total of 7150 hours.

The customer also has a MongoDB equivalent of 5 instances over the month, with a total of 3720 hours.

Your OBS Galerie VPN access is connected to your online services via a virtual connection called a “hosted connection”, established by our network partner OBS in the selected region.

The customer must subscribe independently to the OBS Galerie VPN service, sign two separate contracts and obtain two invoices. Native redundancy is included in the service. The service is determined by the available bandwidth between the customer’s location and the OBS Galerie VPN network. The cost is for one VPN client. For multi-tenant accounts, a VPN client can be connected to an unlimited number of locations under a single account.

The virtual “hosted connection” is billed in outbound Mbps per month and in increments based on the amount of outbound data from the virtual machine. The billing is calculated based on the number of Mbps transferred.

For a Standard connection, the price is per connection. It is strongly recommended to use at least 2 ports.

In the previous example:

The customer transferred 5 Mbps from a Flexible Engine VPC to the Internet or another virtual machine.

Between 1 and 5 Mbps, the price of the transferred data is 5,50€HT/Mbps this month.

Between 101 and 200, the price of the transferred data is 91,30€HT/Go this month.

In this case, the service utility has a port for a standard connection, the price of this 1GE port is 496,10HT per connection this month.

The Cloud Search Service (CSS) is charged for the usage of the CSS instances, the storage Elastic Volume Service (EVS) and the Network Outbound Traffic as follows:

• The CSS instances is charged according to the instance type and specifications (vCPUs and RAM), the number of used instances, the usage duration, the selected billing mode (either PAYG or Reserved Instance).
  In Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG)
  There is no minimum fee or usage requirement. The service is automatically charged from the time that the resource is created until the time it is stopped or deleted based on a usage at the minute granularity according to PAYG Hourly Price. Over 650 hours of usage in the month, the service is charged according to the PAYG Monthly Price, which generates a significant cost saving compared to the Hourly Price. In the ds serie, the CSS instance uses a local data disk and is charged until it is deleted, and not simply stopped as it is the case for the other flavors.
  In Reserved Instance mode (RI)
  In order to benefit from significant cost savings compared to the Pay-as-you-go price, the user can subscribe to Reserved Instances with an irrevocable commitment of a period of 1 year, 2 years or 3 years. The subscription is made by the user himself on his customer space in the OBS Cloud Store and activated the next month. Two models can be chosen:
  – With Reserved Instance without upfront, the user is charged with a fixed amount each month regardless his usage
  – With a Reserved Instance with Upfront, the user have an Upfront Payment (which corresponds to a part of the total cost of the Instance during the period) and a Monthly Fee. The Upfront Payment is due for each reserved period (initial and renewal). The « Effective Monthly » cost is for information only, resulting from calculating the sum of the Upfront payment amortization per month, plus the Monthly Fee.

2) The storage from the Elastic Volume Service (EVS) that the user attaches to the CSS instance is charged according to the prices and billing rules described in the corresponding section https://cloud.orange-business.com/nos-tarifs/elastic-volume-service/

3) The Network Outbound Traffic which is generated by the CSS instance is charged according to the prices and billing rules described in the corresponding section https://cloud.orange-business.com/nos-tarifs/data-traffic/.

In the example above:

The customer used the ess.spec-4u32g instance for 645,0794 hours.

The ess.spec-4u32g instance fee is 0,3894€ excl. VAT/hour.

The customer has used the ess.spec-4u8g instance for 422,6413 hours.

The ess.spec-4u8g instance costs 0,2655€ excl. VAT/hr.

Data Injection Service is billed based on the partition hour, PUT Payload quantity and the storage used. The billing is detailed as follows:

• Cost of the DIS stream partition used: Partition is the base capacity unit of DIS. There are two types of partition: General partition and advanced partition. The general partition provides a capacity of 1MB/sec data input, 2MB/sec data output and support up to 1000 records put per second. The advanced partition provides a capacity of 5MB/sec data input ,10MB/sec data output and support up to 2000 records put per second. The DIS stream partition is charged according to the number of hours of use. Charging starts from the time when the DIS stream is created and stops when the DIS stream is deleted.
• Cost of the PUT Payload Unit number: A record is the data that your data producer adds to DIS stream. A PUT Payload Unit is counted in 25KB payload ‘chunks’ that comprise a record. For example, a 5KB record contains one PUT Payload Unit, a 45KB record contains two PUT Payload Units, and a 1000KB record contains 40 PUT Payload Units. PUT Payload Unit is charged with a per million PUT Payload Units rate.
• Cost of the data storage used: Data can be preserved in a DIS stream for 1 to 7 days. Data will be deleted at the end of your selected retention period. In general, the data storage one day is free, it means that 84GB of storage space for each partition is free to use. Of course, the final free space size can be specified according to the actual situation. The storage is calculated on an hourly basis in GB per hour. The monthly amount is calculated based on 744 hours per month.

DIS is charged for resource usage as follow:

• One Partition Costs=partition time * partition rate + Payload Unit Num * Payload Unit Rate + Data storage size * storage size rate
• Total Costs per stream = Partition 1 Cost + Partition 2 Cost + … + Partition n Cost

Both resources will be charged at the same time. Each charged will be listed separately. There will be 3 CDR records for each stream in the billing interval.

The data will be cached for some time in the service, and default cache time is 24 hours. If the user wants dump the data to OBS, the operation in OBS will be charged separately.

For example:

Partition Hour: One Partition costs € 0,0148 per hour. So the cost of partition is 2646 * 0.0148 = 39.16€.

PUT Payload Unit (25KB): The 1 million Payload Unit costs €0,0143. Our data producers 1 million PUT Payload records. So it costs 0.0143€.

Storage Retention: We didn’t choose the data storage retention function, so the cost is 0.

So, the total is: € (39.16 + 0.0143)

MapReduce Service is charged the lifetime of the instance over the duration of its existence. Cloud Servers use a system disk based on the EVS elastic volume service, and for some flavors a local disk is also included. The ECS is invoiced:

– when it is turned on for flavors that do not include a local disk.

– including when it is turned off and until it is completely deleted for flavors including a local disk.

For example:

Suppose that you have subscribed to an MRS cluster charged in Pay-per-use mode. The cluster has one Master (8 vCPUs, 32 GB) node and one Core (8 vCPUs, 32 GB) node. Both the Master and Core nodes have a default 40 GB system disk and 100 GB storage space. In the example above, you used 2 cc3.2xlarge.4 instances for 744 hours. The cc3.2xlarge.4 instance fee is 0,0856€ excl. VAT/hour.

The pricing details per hour would be as follows:

• MRS management fee = 2 x 63,6864 (MRS instance price);
• ECS fee = 2 x ECS instance price;
• EVS fee = (40 + 40 + 100 + 100) x storage price;
• Total price per hour = MRS management fee + ECS fee + EVS fee.

Model Arts supports machine learning and deep learning algorithm development and deployment, including data processing, model development, training, and management, and service deployment.

The billing items include model development environments (notebooks), model training, and service deployment (real-time services). All the instances are charged according to the number of hours of use.

For example:

The customer used the ma.c6.large.4 instance for 153,65 hours.

The ma.c6.large.4 instance instance fee is 0,1279€ excl. VAT/hour.

So, the cost is: 153,65 * 0,1279 = 19,65€

Data Lake Insight supports pay-per-use billing mode. It’s charged according to the number of hours of Compute unit (CU). CU is the pricing unit of queues. A CU contains one core and 4-GB memory. The computing capabilities of queues vary with queue specifications. The higher the specifications, the higher the computing capability.

For example:

The customer used one compute unit for 23808,00 hours.

One CU fee is 0,0649€ excl. VAT/hour.

So, the cost is: 23808,00 * 0,0649 = 1545,14€
