Understanding Our Pricing Metrics
Capacity and Pre-emption Risk
| Price Threshold | Significance | Pre-emption Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Market Price | ~0% capacity available | Imminent risk of pre-emption |
| 20% | 20% of the capacity for that server class is currently available at this price | High risk of pre-emption in coming weeks or months, depending on market factors |
| 50% | 50% of the capacity is currently available at this price | Moderate risk of pre-emption |
| 80% | 80% of the capacity is currently available at this price | Low risk of pre-emption |
Cost Effectiveness
We calculate cost effectiveness to help you understand the value you're getting for your money:
cost_effectiveness = price_per_hour / number_of_vCPUsA lower cost effectiveness score indicates better value, as you're paying less per vCPU. We use the 80th percentile price to calculate this, giving you a conservative estimate that accounts for potential price fluctuations.
