Table of contents
Availability: Early Access

Note

All free trial usage granted for the Docker Offload Beta expire after 90 days from the time they are granted. To continue using Docker Offload Beta after your usage expires, you can enable on-demand usage at Docker Home Billing.

Understand usage and billing models

Docker Offload offers two usage models to fit different team needs and usage patterns:

  • Committed usage: This provides a committed amount of cloud compute time for your organization.
  • On-demand usage: This provides pay-as-you-go flexibility. You can enable or disable on-demand usage in Billing.

Manage billing

For Docker Offload, you can view and configure billing on the Docker Offload page in Docker Home Billing. On this page, you can:

  • View your committed usage
  • View rates for cloud resources
  • Manage on-demand billing, including setting a monthly limit
  • Track your organization's Docker Offload usage
  • Add or change payment methods

You must be an organization owner to manage billing. For more general information about billing, see Billing.
