You must order all of\nthe Distributed Cloud connected hardware for each zone together. You cannot add\nor remove machines after the hardware has been deployed. You also cannot mix three-machine and\nsingle-machine clusters in the same zone.\n\nFor more information, see [How Distributed Cloud works](/distributed-cloud/edge/latest/docs/how-it-works)\nand [Installation requirements](/distributed-cloud/edge/latest/docs/requirements).\n\nProcurement model\n-----------------\n\nThis section summarizes the procurement models for Distributed Cloud connected hardware.\nFor more information, see\n[Distributed Cloud connected procurement models](/distributed-cloud/edge/latest/docs/how-it-works#procurement).\n\n- **Google-sourced hardware**. In this model, Google provides both the hardware and the\n service, including the software solution, remote management, and hardware support.\n\n- **Customer-sourced hardware**. In this model, Google provides the service, while you\n work with a Google-certified systems integrator (SI) to procure Google-certified hardware\n for your Distributed Cloud connected deployment. The SI provides support\n for the hardware.\n\nTerm commitment\n---------------\n\nYou are billed for Distributed Cloud connected on a monthly basis.\nYou must commit to a term of either 36 or 60 months.\n\nPricing for Distributed Cloud connected hardware\n------------------------------------------------\n\nPricing for Distributed Cloud connected hardware is available on the corresponding [SKU page](https://cloud.google.com/skus?e=13802955&filter=8A2D-5CB1-345B¤cy=USD).\n\nIncluded and add-on services\n----------------------------\n\nDistributed Cloud connected ships with the\n[Distributed Cloud connected services platform](/distributed-cloud/edge/docs/services),\nwhich lets you integrate external services with your Distributed Cloud connected deployment.\n\nThe following table describes the cost of integrating each supported service with\nDistributed Cloud connected:\n\nPremium support\n---------------\n\nDistributed Cloud connected requires\n[Premium Support](/support/docs/premium).\nIf you're not currently a Premium Support customer, you must purchase\nPremium Support to use Distributed Cloud connected.\n\nBilling for other Google Cloud services\n---------------------------------------\n\nIf you use any Google Cloud services, such as Cloud VPN or Google Cloud\nObservability on your Google Distributed Cloud connected deployment, you are billed\nseparately for the usage of each of those services.\n\nBilling for logs and metrics\n----------------------------\n\nDistributed Cloud connected logs various types of information about\nits operation, such as Distributed Cloud connected system activities\nand the workloads that you run on your Distributed Cloud\nclusters.\n\nThe following table describes the pricing for\ncollecting various logs and metrics on Distributed Cloud."]]
