APPUiO Cloud Pricing

APPUiO Cloud has a pay-per-use (metered) price model. This means, you only pay for what you use.

  • Measurement is memory (RAM) usage in MiB (Mebibytes) per Pod, usage over one minute (mean).

  • Minimum 128 MiB for 1 minute, then in 1 MiB steps.

  • If the usage is smaller than the resource requests, the requests are counted.

  • The underlying infrastructure has a fixed ratio between memory and CPU resources. CPU requests exceeding that ratio will be counted as well. The requested CPU cores will be multiplied with the platforms' ratio. This yields an equivalent in MiB. The memory to CPU ratio can be different per zone. See zone listing for the exact values.

    Example 1. CPU request billing exceeding underlying infrastructures' ratio
    Starting position

    The selected zone has a ratio of 4096 MiB per core, the requested memory is 1024 MiB and the requested CPU 400 milicores (equals 0.4 cores).

    Result

    This results in a ratio of 2560 MiB per core (1024 MiB divided by 0.4 cores) which is below the one of the selected zone, thus violating fair use and will cause extra cost. The billed amount will be 1638 MiB (4096 MiB multiplied by 0.4 cores).

  • Measurement is the size of PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) in GiB (Gibibytes).

  • Measured in 1 GiB steps, rounded up to the next increment.

  • See Available Storage Classes for a list of Storage Classes per Zone.

  • Storage Types (Access Modes):

    • RWO (ReadWriteOnce): The volume can be mounted as read-write by a single node only, usually by a single pod.

    • RWX (ReadWriteMany): The volume can be mounted as read-only by many nodes and pods at the same time.

Service Type LoadBalancer

Per Service per minute Per Service per 30 days

CHF 0.0004629630

CHF 20.00

  • Measurement is per Kubernetes service type LoadBalancer per minute.

  • Only IPv4 is supported at the moment.

  • Traffic to the service is routed through redundant network path. Failure of a single network path does not impact service availability. For high availability, please ensure the workload targeted by the service is deployed accordingly.

Notes

Price for calculation

The price per minute is used for calculation.

Rounding

The minute-by-minute costs are summed up by month, then rounded to two decimal places for invoicing.

Gigabytes vs. Gibibytes

Please see Unit Prefixes for a detailed description about the differences.
1 GiB (Gibibyte) equals 1024^3 bytes.

Validity

These prices are valid starting 2024-01-01 until further notice.

VAT

All prices are excl. VAT, currently 8.1% for Switzerland.

Days/Hours/Minutes Conversion

30 days are 720 hours or 43'200 minutes.

Duration

Duration is calculated from the time the Pod is created until the Pod is terminated, rounded up to the nearest minute.

CPU Usage

Usage of vCPU resources is included in the price. A fair-use policy applies.

1. Based on Kubernetes CSI
2. Based on Rook/Ceph using the APPUiO Managed Storage Cluster product
