description: OCI pricing models and discount structures.
---
models:
payg:
name: "Pay As You Go"
commitment: none
discount: none
billing: "Per second (compute), per hour (database), per month (storage)"
when_to_use:
- "Variable/unpredictable workloads"
- "Short-term projects"
- "Dev/test environments"
- "Initial cloud adoption (before committing)"
monthly_flex:
name: "Monthly Flex (Universal Credits)"
commitment: "Minimum $1,000/month or custom commitment"
discount: "Volume discounts on committed spend"
billing: "Committed credits consumed by usage"
when_to_use:
- "Steady-state production workloads"
- "Known baseline consumption"
- "Multiple services across OCI"
discount_tiers:
- spend: "$1K-$10K/month"
discount: "~5-10%"
- spend: "$10K-$50K/month"
discount: "~10-20%"
- spend: "$50K+/month"
discount: "~20-30% (negotiated)"
annual_flex:
name: "Annual Flex (Committed)"
commitment: "1-year or 3-year commitment"
discount: "Deeper discounts than monthly flex"
when_to_use:
- "Established production workloads with predictable spend"
- "Organizations committed to OCI long-term"
byol:
name: "Bring Your Own License"
discount: "~50% on database OCPU costs"
eligible:
- "Oracle Database Enterprise Edition"
- "Oracle Database Standard Edition 2"
- "Oracle WebLogic"
- "Oracle Java SE"
conversion: "1 processor license = 2 OCPUs"
when_to_use:
- "Existing Oracle on-prem licenses with active support"
- "Licenses not being used elsewhere"
when_NOT_to_use:
- "No existing licenses"
- "Licenses still needed for on-prem during migration"
- "Standard Edition workloads on ADB (requires EE)"
reserved_capacity:
name: "Reserved Capacity"
commitment: "1-year or 3-year for specific shapes"
discount:
1_year: "~35% off on-demand"
3_year: "~55% off on-demand"
when_to_use:
- "Known compute shapes running 24/7"
- "Predictable database capacity"
notes: "Shape-specific, less flexible than Universal Credits"
estimation_approach:
step_1: "Calculate PAYG cost first (baseline)"
step_2: "Apply BYOL if customer has eligible licenses"
step_3: "Show savings with Monthly Flex / Annual Flex for steady-state"
step_4: "Compare total annual cost vs current on-prem spending"
step_5: "Include migration costs in year 1"
assumptions_to_state:
- "Hours per month (730 for 24/7)"
- "Auto-scaling hours per day (estimate)"
- "Data transfer volumes"
- "Backup retention"
- "Support tier"
