With Prisma Cloud, billable workloads are calculated on the average number of workloads monitored during which timeframe?

In the context of Prisma Cloud, billable workloads are determined based on the average number of workloads monitored over a one-month timeframe. This approach allows for a standardized calculation, providing a clear and consistent method for clients to understand their usage and associated costs.

Calculating billable workloads on a monthly basis helps to account for fluctuations in workload activity, as many organizations experience varying levels of demand throughout the month. By averaging the number of monitored workloads over this period, Prisma Cloud ensures that billing accurately reflects the customer's usage patterns, leading to fairer pricing based on actual resource consumption.

This monthly calculation aligns with typical billing cycles seen in cloud services, which often operate on a monthly billing schedule. As such, it promotes transparency and predictability in costs for organizations leveraging cloud security services.
