The Formula Explained
Monthly Cost = (Usage Hours × Rate per Hour) + (Storage GB × Rate per GB)
Glossary of Terms
- Cloud Provider: The service provider for cloud resources.
- Usage Hours: Total hours of cloud resource usage.
- Storage GB: Amount of storage used in gigabytes.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
Let's assume you're using AWS for 100 hours of compute and 50 GB of storage.
Apply the formula: Monthly Cost = (100 × $0.10) + (50 × $0.023) = $10 + $1.15 = $11.15
