Compute Service
A virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization/emulation of a computer system. It allows a business to run an operating system that behaves like a completely separate computer in an app window on a desktop.
Awanio compute service is provided as Virtual Machine, with add-on storage, security and monitoring capabilities. Before the VM is ready for subcriptions, you have to set pricing for compute service, additional volume/storage and public IP address.
Manage Pricing
All VM plans are billed hourly up to a monthly cap with flat pricing, or set custom pricing for VM specification upgrade. You can select the right pricing for your resources.
Fixed Pricing | Custom Pricing |
---|---|
Set pricing hourly and monthly, fixed for input specifications | Set pricing per vCPU, MB of RAM, GB of storage |

- In the create pricing page, you can set plan name, category (standard, medium, high, or custom), specification and price.
- Click on Create button in the dialog.
Fixed Pricing (standard, medium or high)
Set VM specifications (processor vCPU, RAM in MB, storage in GB and transfer in TB), then set price per hour and per month.
Custom Pricing
Set the price per specification. For example:
- Price per vCPU for processor = IDR 1.
- Price per MB for RAM = IDR 0,1.
- Price per GB for storage = IDR 0,5.
The price for custom specification will be:
- 4 vCPU = 1 x 4 = IDR 4
- 8 GB RAM = 0,1 x 8192 = IDR 819 (rounded)
- 256 GB storage = 0,5 x 256 = IDR 128
Total = IDR 951 per hour
The price will be multiplied by usage hour for the invoices.
