Billing
Billing for Resources
- When hybrid cloud is not enabled: FCP static resources are billed annually based on the number of local static CPU cores (limited by license).
- When hybrid cloud is enabled: FCP static resources are still billed annually based on local static CPU cores (limited by license). Resources expanded into the FCC-E pool are billed based on FCC-E resource pricing (see Fastone official pricing).
Hosts in the FCC-E resource pool billed by pay-as-you-go or monthly plans will appear on the monthly bill. Subscription-billed hosts are not included in the monthly bill.
Billing for Fsched head-node HA
Whether hybrid cloud is enabled or not, FCP does not charge for the Fsched cluster HA feature itself (the feature is free, but resource usage is billed normally).
Billing for management nodes
In FCP, management nodes are provided by the customer. Enabling hybrid cloud does not require additional nodes, so management-node billing is not included in the bill after hybrid cloud is enabled.
