With a new cost model metric, you can now directly assign costs to your projects by using tag-based rates. After you apply a tag rate to a project, the monthly cost is assigned to that project. If the project has nodes associated with it, the cost is then distributed across those nodes. With this update, you can have better cost visibility, more precise financial tracking, and the ability to assign quota-based costs or minimum costs.

To get more precise control over your billing, you can now bill Virtual Machines (VMs) based on the number of physical VM cores that are utilized. This new VM core metric enables you to bill either hourly or monthly. Your system must be running on Operator Release 4.0.0 or later.
