Jelastic PaaS pricing model: Pay As You Use
New Generation Cloud Pricing Model
Scaling Efficiency vs Over-Allocation
Jelastic PaaS provides a unique process of automatic scaling with payment based on the real cloud computing consumption, and not on the server size. Compare what you lose at other cloud vendors with a different scaling and pricing model.
Container-Based Jelastic PaaS
1
Specify maximum Scaling Limit for a container to overcome any load spike.
2
- no action required -
3
- no action required -
4
Scale horizontally for high availability but keep paying only for used resources.
Watch the video explanation to find out how automatic scaling with payment based on real consumption works:
VM-Based Cloud Vendors
1
Order smaller VM for initial phase.
2
Buy twice bigger VM when you grow or expect load spikes.
3
Migrate your project from smaller to bigger VM with downtime.
4
Scale horizontally for high availability with inefficiency inside.
How Jelastic PaaS Pricing Works
Every container hosted with Jelastic PaaS is divided to granular units - cloudlets (128 MB of RAM and 400 MHz of CPU). The platform makes hourly measures how many cloudlets inside each container are consumed and requests the payment only for these used resources.
You can set up a maximum Scaling Limit for each container, so the resources will be always available in case of load spikes or other consumption changes. No matter how high the limit - the payment will be only based on real usage. The rest of the allocated resources will be just waiting in the resource pool for the application to request them, and it is totally free of charge.
Additional Charged Resources and Services
In addition to RAM and CPU, applications can consume the following charged resources:
DISK SPACE
EXTERNAL TRAFFIC
PUBLIC IP
JELASTIC SSL
You only pay for your actual consumption (you do not need to buy extra resources "just in case" you need it).
