Bare Metal Servers for VPC is global service with regional pricing. When selecting a server profile clients can expect hourly billing on all included and selected metric parts. The total hourly billing is a combination of the total hours a server was provisioned (BARE_METAL_SERVER_HOURS), the total hours of the selected operating system (IMAGE), plus the network bandwidth speed selected (Bandwidth) per hour multiplied by the hourly rate of each.

Additional charges

The IMAGE measure is the OS selected by a user to install onto a bare metal server. Users will select one of many popular server operating systems including Linux, Windows, RedHat, SUSE, and VMware. Each operating system can have multiple software install versions, and will differ in pricing depending on the major OS vendor selected. Specific to RedHat and SUSE, we offer SAP versions for HANA workloads. The hourly price of a selected OS will vary based on the vendor. RedHat is based on the quantity of instances provisioned per hour (where one server is one instance), SUSE is calculated on the quantity of sockets (NumberOfCPUs) per hour, and NumberofCores is an additional server measure used to calculate total billing for Windows Server.

Operating systemCost

Network bandwidth represents the total aggregate throughput on a server across all vNICs. Gen2 profiles are fixed at 100 Gbps network bandwidth whereas Gen3 profiles support dynamic network bandwidth pricing and can scale on-demand.
