Pricing

(Document status: wip)

A Pricing Table defines the terms under which a given provider is willing to rent its compute resources for running pods. The Pricing Table is typically represented using a Protobuf object encoding the prices for reserving or using certain resources.

resource typical usage suggested/example metrics
cpu reserve (while application is running) kube_pod_resource_request{pod, resource=cpu}
memory reserve (while application is running) kube_pod_resource_request{pod, resource=memory}
storage reserve (incl. while application is stopped) kubelet_volume_stats_available_bytes{namespace}
nvidia.com/gpu(|shared) reserve kube_pod_resource_request{pod, resource=nvidia.com/gpu(|.shared)}
apocryph.network/ip reserve kube_service_spec_type{namespace, type=NodePort}
kubernetes.io/(in|e)gress-bandwidth usage nginx_ingress_controller_nginx_process_(read|write)_bytes_total

The pricing table must encompass all essential billing details for clients, and it might be as straightforward as this:

Resource Description Price
CPU N° of Cores/ N° of vCPUs $0.0001 VCPU(min/s/ms)
RAM Capacity Capacity (ex: GB) $0.00001 GB/(min/s/ms)
Storage Type (e.g., Block, Object) $0.00001 GB/(min/s/ms)
GPU (Optional) Model $0.0001 per Execution (min/s/ms)

Or it could be split into categories with more detailed information:

Compute Pricing

  • CPU

    Resource Description Number of Cores vCPUs Model TEE Type Price per Unit
    CPU Processing power Cores vCPUs Intel, AMD, ARM, ...etc Enclaves, CVMs, ..etc $0.0001 VCPU(min/s/ms)

  • Ram

    Resource Description Capacity Price
    RAM Memory capacity Capacity (ex: 1GB) $0.00001 GB/(min/s/ms)

Storage Pricing

Resource Description Capacity Storage Type Price per Unit
Storage Storage resources Capacity (ex: 10GB) Block, Object, ...etc $000001 per GB(min/s/ms)
