What's new

Revamped Cost & Usage in the DCD

March 25 The Cost & Usage view has been revamped with a fresh and intuitive design. It provides:

• A comprehensive summary of your account's cost for the past six months, including the current month.
• A monthly report with detailed insights into all costs associated with using Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) and consuming other products and services.
• Transparency about usage patterns and costs across product categories by displaying the total units consumed, cost per unit, and total cost incurred.

As a result, the Cost & Usage documentation has been revamped to align with the new view and is now categorized as a separate topic in the documentation portal.
