  expansion: Cloudera Compute Unit
  note: >-
    Cloudera meters consumption in CCUs (and, for GPU, CGUs). Pricing is per
    CCU-hour for cloud services and per CCU-year for on-premises subscriptions.
    There is NO per-API-call or per-request price anywhere in Cloudera's pricing —
    the API is a control surface over metered compute, not a metered product in
    its own right, so an agent's API usage costs nothing directly and everything
    indirectly through the resources it provisions.
api_pricing:
  metered: false
  note: >-
    Calls to the CDP control plane API are not billed. What they create is —
    createAWSEnvironment, createVwCluster and createAWSCluster each start a
    CCU-hourly meter that runs until the corresponding delete or stop operation.
    This is the single most important cost fact for an agent operating this API.

  Cloudera publishes real list prices for its cloud services — unusual for an
  enterprise data platform — and reserves "contact sales" for the on-premises
  subscription bundles. Plan names, prices and units above are transcribed from
  the pricing page as published on 2026-09-05.
