This guide details how billing works for your Jelastic Cloud Infomaniak.

Flexible pricing

Jelastic Cloud offers a flexible pricing model that adjusts to all types of usage:

• Your PaaS resources are provisioned with granular units, called Cloudlets: the power of your environments is thus determined based on the number of Cloudlets you allocate to them, with one Cloudlet offering 128 MB of RAM and 400 MHz of CPU.
• Automatic vertical and horizontal scaling of resources ensures that your applications achieve optimal performance 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 can choose to allocate reserved and dynamic Cloudlets to your environment:

• **Reserved** Cloudlets are resources that are **always available**; they are more cost-effective than dynamic Cloudlets, but they are billed regardless of usage.
• **Dynamic** Cloudlets are resources that **activate during peak consumption**; they are only billed when used and according to your rules.

If you are unable to estimate the reserved resources you need, it is recommended to start with a limited number of Cloudlets and adjust your configuration later. The 14-day trial period also allows you to assess your needs without any commitment.
