Home Cloud Services Open Cloud Prices

The prices for the Compute Services are based on two different models: On-Demand and Pre-Commit. The on-demand model offers the greatest flexibility without a term commitment. You only pay for the time the instances are active. In contrast, the pre-commit model is intended for compute resources that run 24/7. Discounts of up to 50 percent are possible here. The prices listed for EveryWare Open Cloud Services do not include VAT.

Compute Services

Cloud Server (Instance)

A cloud server instance consists of one or more virtual processors (vCPU), memory, an OS image (operating system, public or private image) and instance block storage (IBS) or volume block storage (Volume Service VBS). The customer can choose from the following preconfigured types, known as flavors. These flavors combine fixed sizes and limits in terms of network bandwidth, storage throughput or IOPS number and type of vCPUs, memory size and instance block storage.

Two pricing models are available for Compute Services.

On-Demand

The on-demand model offers the greatest flexibility with no term commitment. All your instances can be ordered flexibly under this model. You only pay for the time the instances are active ("running" status). The usage time of the individual VMs is recorded to the second and added up on an hourly basis over the course of the calendar month. The resulting total time in hours is used for billing.

Pre-commit

The pre-commit model is for compute resources that run 24/7. Discounts of up to 50 percent are possible for a contract term of 1 or 3 years. The pre-commit refers to the instance types, so-called flavors.

General Workload e1

This flavor group offers a balanced ratio of all components, such as vCPU, RAM, IOPS and network. It is suitable for a wide range of tasks. vCPU to RAM ratio is 1:4.

Storage Service

Block storage volume prices

The block storage volumes are provided on a scalable, redundant and high-performance NVME-SSD enterprise storage cluster based on Ceph. The different performance classes differ in the number of IOPS per volume that is provided.

Provisioned

The maximum number of IOPS for provisioned block storage is independent of the volume size, but a minimum volume size of 100 GB is required for fair use.

General Purpose

With general purpose block storage, the maximum available disk IOPS increase dynamically with the size of the volume. Two progression levels with different ratio IOPS are currently offered.

Calculation example 1: Moderate increase in IOPS per GB volume: 400GB * 5 IOPS = 2,000 IOPS
Calculation example 2: Significant increase in IOPS per GB volume: 400GB * 25 IOPS = 10,000 IOPS

Note

Up to 24 block storage volumes can be assigned to each OpenStack Cloud Server, whereby the volume block storages can be of different types. The maximum size of a single volume is currently limited to 20TB.

S3 Object Storage

The Object Storage Service is an object-based data storage service. The service can be accessed via the Public Internet using the HTTPS protocol and the widely used S3 and Swift APIs. The S3 API offered by EveryWare is closely based on the S3 API known from AWS. Swift is an object storage similar to S3 and is used by OpenStack, for example, as storage for volume backup.

Object Storage Service offers the option of creating buckets (containers) and storage objects, retrieving and deleting objects. The customer has the option of controlling access at bucket level. Object Storage Service offers high scalability and at the same time simple but powerful administration.

The price for Object Storage S3and SWIFT is made up of the following components:

Volume Backup Service

The OpenStack Volume Backup Service offers the option of a complete or incremental backup to restore volumes using the Object Storage Service. A backup is a "point in time copy" of a volume and is stored in the secondary data center on a highly redundant object storage cluster. The data backup can be automated and controlled via the Workflow Service or controlled directly via the Volume Service API. The costs of a volume backup are as follows:

Note

In addition to the OpenStack Volume Backup Service costs, there are also costs for Temporary Volume Storage (Process) and Object Storage (Vault), depending on the size and type of the backed-up volume.

Calculation example Daily volume backup (full) of a 100 GB volume, retention 7 After the seventh day, the first backup is overwritten. The example is based on a whole month (basis 744h).

The actual cost of backing up this 100 GB volume depends on various factors, such as the actual size of the backup volume(used size), the processing time of the backup (temporary storage) and the compression factor (>10) of the backup files. The calculation example is a realistic estimate that includes the following cost elements for one month:

Volume Snapshot Service

The snapshot service offers the customer the option of creating a "point in time copy" of an instance (server) or a volume. The snapshot of an instance is stored as a private image in the compute/images area and is billed as an image service on an hourly basis. In contrast, a volume snapshot remains on the block storage solution and appears in the OpenStack Management Portal under Volume/Snapshot. A volume snapshot can be converted into a volume, while a server snapshot that has been transferred to the Image Service can be used to start a new server based on this snapshot (image).

The volume snapshot service calculates the size of the volume snapshot based on hours (GB hours), regardless of the volume type.

Network Service

Routers (VPC)

A virtual router is a service component that forwards data packets between networks. It can connect several private networks with each other or with the public network (and therefore the Internet). The routers are billed to USAGE on an hourly basis.

Site-2-Site VPN (IPsec)

The VPN service is connected to a router (VPC) and refers to an endpoint group or a single subnet to reach a remote site. After activating this service, you can establish multiple VPN connections, billing is per VPN connection and charged per hour. A router is required for this service.

Client VPN Service is not currently offered on OpenStack. Experienced customers can easily build this service themselves in a VM, e.g. with the open source tool pfsence. In Q2 2020 we will evaluate the costs of integrating a Client VPN solution for OpenStack.

Floating IPs (PubIP)

A floating IP is a public IP address that can be assigned to a cloud serveror a load balancer, for example. Only cloud servers that are connected to a network that is connected to the public network via a router can be assigned a floating IP. A cloud server to which a floating IP has been assigned can be reached directly from the Internet via the IP (make sure to configure the security groups). Floating IPs are also required for port forwarding.

Floating IPs are billed to USAGE on an hourly basis.

Network traffic

The public network is used to connect customer environments to the Internet, if desired. Only routers have direct access to the public network. Outbound traffic is billed here. Since 23.09.2020, the public network traffic is measured per customer (tenant) and can therefore also be billed. In uProvide, the data appears in the Rating Data "public-network-traffic" service section. Public traffic to object storage (e.g. backup) is filtered out and not billed.

Network Services free of charge

No fees are charged for the following network services:

  • Port forwarding In the OpenStack Management Portal you can configure any number of PORTs or PORT range forwarding. Here, a connection that is received via a specific external PORT (e.g. 2222) of the virtual router is forwarded to an instance (VM) via another internal PORT (e.g. 22).

  • Security groups Security groups replace conventional firewalls in modern cloud platforms. While a firewall only seals off entire networks, security groups can be used to secure individual ports within a layer 2 network.

  • Security rules Each security group contains one or more security rules. The rules contain granular rules on which protocols, groups and CIDRs are used to determine who should have access to whom.

  • Private networks and sub-networks The customer can create different private networks within their project. The IP address ranges of the associated sub-networks can be freely selected in accordance with RFC 1918.

Load Balancer Service (HA LBaaS)

High Available Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS) offers load balancing on the basis of virtual IPs - as an alternative to DNS-based load balancing.

The load balancers are billed on an hourly basis by USAGE. The smallest billable unit for all resource types that are billed according to the on-demand model is always at least one hour. Example: If a customer deploys a virtual server and deletes it 15 minutes later, one hour is charged.

Note

The CPU and RAM of an instance are only counted and calculated when the instance is started (UP). The storage of an instance is always counted regardless of the power state.

OpenStack does not count the CPU or RAM hours individually, but the instance UP hours of the individual instance types (flavors). The calculation is based on the respective flavor price, which implicitly takes into account the number of CPU and RAM.
