You are charged for using WUYING Workspace (Pro Edition) resources. The fees for the resources vary based on the type, quantity, and usage duration of cloud computers.
Basic services
Cloud computers
When you create a cloud computer, you must configure computing and storage resources for the cloud computer. In WUYING Workspace, computing resources of a cloud computer include vCPUs or vGPUs and memory or GPU memory. Storage resources of a cloud computer include a system disk (required) and data disk (optional).
The basic fees for using a cloud computer consist of computing resource fees and storage resource fees.
Item | Description | |
Billing method | For subscription cloud computers, you must pay upfront before you can use the cloud computers. In this case, you continue to be charged regardless of whether your cloud computers are stopped. After you purchase subscription cloud computers, take note of the subscription duration and renew your cloud computers at the earliest opportunity to prevent business interruption. | |
For pay-as-you-go cloud computers, you pay after you use the cloud computers. You are not charged for computing resources when the cloud computers are stopped. When a pay-as-you-go cloud computer is stopped, the system automatically reclaims computing resources and retains the cloud computer for subsequent use. In this case, you are no longer charged for the computing resources, but you are charged for the storage resources. | ||
Billing formula | Total fee = Computing resource fee + Storage resource fee Note If you purchase a subscription cloud computer, you are charged for using the computing and storage resources of the cloud computer on a subscription basis. If you purchase a pay-as-you-go cloud computer, you are charged for using the computing and storage resources of the cloud computer on a pay-as-you-go basis. | |

AD connectors

The billing cycle of an AD connector starts when the AD office network is created and ends when the AD office network is deleted.
