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.

Monitor your usage

The Offload activity page in Docker Home provides visibility into how you are using cloud resources to run containers.

To monitor your usage:

  1. Sign in to Docker Home.
  2. Select the account for which you want to monitor usage.
  3. Select Offload > Offload activity.

Overview metrics

Key metrics at the top of the page summarize your Docker Offload usage:

  • Total duration: The total time spent in Offload sessions
  • Average duration: The average time per Offload session
  • Total sessions: The total number of Offload sessions
  • Unique images used: The number of distinct container images used across sessions
  • Unique users: The number of different users in Docker Offload sessions

Filter and export your data

You can filter the Offload activity data by:

  • Period: Select a preset time period or choose a custom date range
