Understand Jelastic Cloud billing
This guide details how billing works for your Infomaniak Jelastic Cloud.
Flexible Pricing
Jelastic Cloud offers a flexible pricing model that adjusts to all types of usage:
- Your PaaS resources are provisioned with granular units, Cloudlets: the power of your environments is determined by the number of Cloudlets you allocate, with one Cloudlet providing 128 MB of RAM and 400 MHz of CPU
- Automatic vertical and horizontal scaling of resources ensures you have the best performance for your applications without paying for unused resources
- By consuming Cloudlets, you automatically benefit from discounts of up to 65%
Difference Between Reserved and Dynamic Cloudlets
When creating a container, you have the option to allocate both reserved and dynamic Cloudlets to your environment:
- Reserved Cloudlets are resources that are permanently available; they are more cost-effective than dynamic Cloudlets, but they are billed regardless of their usage
- Dynamic Cloudlets are resources that activate during consumption peaks; they are billed only when used and according to your rules
If you have trouble estimating the reserved resources you need, it is recommended to start with a limited number of Cloudlets and adjust your configuration afterwards. The 14-day trial period also allows you to assess your needs with no commitment.
