Robot units calculus example

This example demonstrates how to calculate robot units requirements for different types of cloud robots (VM and Serverless) across three tenants within an organization. It considers number of machines, usage time, and robot units rates for each type of cloud robot. The total cost is calculated for a Production environment.

Let's understand the consumption meter for cloud robots:

Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM: These machines consume a fixed number of robot units per month per machine. In this example, one VM Standard machine consumes 6,000 robot units/month.
Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless: These machines consume robot units based on their estimated duration and machine size. The cost is calculated per minute. In this example, a Medium serverless machine consumes 4 platform units/minute.

Level	Tenant requirements	Required robot units amount	Total robot units required
Tenant 1	2 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machines 1 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless machine Estimated duration: 600 minutes (10 hours) / month Machine size: Medium	One Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machine needs 6,000 robot units/month. One Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless Medium machine needs 4 robot units/min	VM: 2 x 6,000 = 12,000 robot units/month Serverless: 600 x 4 =2,400 robot units/month Total: 14,400 robot units/month
Tenant 2	1 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machines	One Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machine needs 6,000 robot units/month.	VM: 1 x 6,000 = 6,000 robot units/month Total: 6,000 robot units/month
Tenant 3	5 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless machine Estimated duration: 180 minutes (3 hours) daily on business days Machine size: Medium	One Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless Medium machine needs 4 platform units/min	Because the number of business days in a month varies, we consider the maximum number of 23 business days: Serverless: 23 x 180 x 4 =16,560 robot units/month Total: 16,560 robot units/month
Organization	3 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machines 6 x Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless machine Estimated duration: 600 (permonth)+180 minutes (per day, for 23 days) Machine size: Medium	One Automation Cloud™ Robots - VM Standard machine needs 6,000 platform units/month. One Automation Cloud™ Robots - Serverless Medium machine needs 4 platform units/min	Cost for all tenants: 14,400 + 6,000 + 16,560 Total requirement for organization: 36,960 robot units/ month
