VRAM (Video Random Access Memory) is a special-purpose memory type used by graphics controllers to store image data that is displayed on the screen. VRAM is faster and more expensive than regular RAM, and it allows the graphics controller to access the image data directly without involving the CPU or the system memory. VRAM can improve the performance and quality of graphics-intensive applications, such as video editing, gaming, and 3D rendering.

Metered utilization is a cloud feature that allows cloud providers to charge customers based on their actual consumption of resources, such as CPU time, storage space, bandwidth, or transactions.This enables customers to pay only for the resources they use, rather than a fixed or flat rate, which can reduce costs and increase efficiency. Metered utilization can also provide more transparency and accountability for both cloud providers and customers, as they can track and monitor their resource usage and billing. Reference:
