Hello
Please can anyone describe the difference between the two out of the box billing policies:
Fixed Cost and Allocation (This policy takes into account all the fixed costs associated with an entity and the user-defined allocations units set on the entity for the chargeable computing resources when calculating the total cost.)
and
Fixed Cost and vCPU Count and Memory Size (This policy takes into account all the fixed costs associated with an entity, the number of virtual CPUs and the total amount of memory allocated to the virtual machines on the ESXi host, and the actual utilization of other chargeable computing resources by the entity for calculating the total cost.)
Would the vCPU Count and Memory Size of the second policy be the same as the Allocation metrics in the first one? Effectively they would both calculate costs based on allocation of vCPU and vRAM regardless of usage?
If you wanted to bill according to the size of a VM, regardless of usage levels, which would be the best policy?
Thanks
