How the estimate is built
The standard deployment is priced by these components (methodology). A quantity is a formula over the workload variables; free allowances are subtracted first, and a tier prices only its own band.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise Edition vCPUs (traced hosts) | Enterprise Edition · per core-month · annual, billed annually | apm_hosts * max(ceil(host_memory_gib / 4), 1) | ||
| Infrastructure Edition vCPUs (untraced hosts) | Infrastructure Edition · per core-month · annual, billed annually | (hosts - apm_hosts) * max(ceil(host_memory_gib / 4), 1) | ||
| Log Analytics, 5 GB/day units (annual price / 12) | Pro Log Analytics (reseller list) · per custom · annual (reseller, AWS Marketplace) | ceil(log_gb / (hours / 24) / 5) / 12 | ||
