- VMs at a Glance - This graph displays the total virtual machine count and average expense per month. It also displays the virtual machine count based on power status whether stopped, running, or terminated, number of virtual machines in each state, and the cost of virtual machines in each state.
Note: The projected expense for public cloud is calculated by using the following equation:
Projected cost = A + ((B/24) * n), where, A is the total cost till date, B is the average cost per day derived using A if the last sync time for the account is of current month, otherwise B is the cost of previous day, and n is the remaining number of hours for the current month.
