At a Glance
An account represents a group of scientific collaborators guided by an agreement that outlines the legal obligations of those who access or analyze HISE account data. From the Environment tile in your personal space, you can view your accounts and filter the projects within them.
Cloud compute expenses are usually limited at the individual and account levels. Users work with their respective account administrators to track costs and stay within the established limits. In addition, this tutorial shows you how to monitor and predict your own cloud compute expenses.
If you're not a HISE user, you can establish a Data Apps guest workspace account tied to your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing ID. For details, see Manage Data Apps Workspaces (Tutorial).
Cloud Computing Cost Breakdown
You incur cloud computing costs when you use HISE IDEs to store data, process data sets, and so on. Items that contribute to your monthyly computing expenses include the following:
- Individual IDEs
- Data-disk storage costs attached to each IDE
- Private folder storage costs
To minimize your individual and group expenses, use the available cost management tools. Stop IDE instances when possible and delete them when they're no longer needed. Administrators should follow the principle of least privilege, so that permission to access cloud resources is granted only to those who need it. For detailed cost management advice, see Monitor and Control Cost.
Track Your Cloud Compute Spend
Quotas for cloud computing are set per individual and per organization. HISE users are notified by email as they approach various monthly caps. Team managers and principal investigators can view the current spend in detail for the entire team. As an individual user, you can monitor the collective quota by reading the email notifications you receive. The HISE Billing section offers an overview of your individual compute costs.
For questions about your individual or group quota, contact your billing administrator or email immunology-support@alleninstitute.org.
Instructions

View Your Personal IDE Billing
You're notified by email when you've used 50% of your monthly quota. If you reach your monthly quota, you cannot start a new IDE instance. Any active instances are stopped. Active notebook jobs are canceled and returned to the queue, where they remain until the following month. To track your usage, follow the instructions below.
1. In the upper-right corner of your screen, click your name.
2. From the drop-down menu, choose Billing.
3. On the Personal IDE Billing page, find your Personal Billing Summary.
4. To see if you've reached your monthly quota, check the Quota Reached field.
