Our Public Cloud offers two billing methods for instances. For hourly instances, customers are billed at the end of the month for the hours consumed during that period. This is a post-paid model where customers pay based on their actual usage.
On the other hand, for committed instances, customers are invoiced upfront for the next billing period. This is a pre-paid model where customers commit to a specific number of resources for a set duration and receive an invoice accordingly.
