The computing component in a cloud server bill refers to the charges associated with the processing power allocated to your virtual machine (VM) or instance. This includes the CPU resources consumed, which determine how much computational work your server can perform. The cost is typically calculated based on factors like the number of vCPUs (virtual CPUs), CPU usage duration, and the instance type (e.g., general-purpose, compute-optimized).
For example, if you rent a cloud server with 4 vCPUs and run a high-performance application that fully utilizes these cores for 100 hours, you’ll be billed for the computing time consumed by those vCPUs.
In Tencent Cloud, this is reflected in the "Compute" section of your bill, where services like CVM (Cloud Virtual Machine) charge based on the instance specifications and usage time. You can optimize costs by selecting the right instance type (e.g., Standard, Compute-optimized) or using spot instances for flexible workloads.
