example, a provider might want to inject costs for datacenter space, power, cooling, one-time setup fee,

and physical load balancers into the customer’s cost report.

vCenter Chargeback Manager can consider virtual machine state when applying ﬁxed costs to entities

containing virtual machines. By default, ﬁxed costs are prorated. It is possible to disable proration if wanted.

After deﬁning ﬁxed costs, apply the ﬁxed costs through the Conﬁgure Cost tab.

memory (MB). VM Instance matrices are linked with a cost model and consist of the hierarchy selection criteria,

a ﬁxed-cost table and a default ﬁxed cost. Selection criteria can be based on name-pattern matching or custom-

attribute matching. VM Instance uses a stepping function, where the virtual machine charge steps up to the next

instance size. Costs are applied only for the duration when a virtual machine is powered on and is not prorated.

VM Instance costing is speciﬁc to Pay As You Go vDCs.

Multiple cost matrices can be created for a cost model and ordered by selection criteria priority. In this case, the
