AWS costs
Monthly cost estimations
Cloudy-Pad is free and open-source; however, charges may apply when using a Cloud provider. Typically billed resources:
- Machine usage (GPU, CPU, RAM)
- Disk storage
- IP address reservation
💸 It's recommenced to use Spot instances as they are 30% to 90% cheaper ! As Spot instances interrupton is generally low, you probably won't get interruped during your session. However, make sure to save often nonetheless 😉
Example: using a g4dn.xlarge (16 GB RAM, 4 CPUs, NVIDIA T4) Spot instance for 10 hours / month would cost approximatively 9.63$ / month.
| Instance type | RAM (GB) | CPUs | GPU | Spot ? | Disk size | Instance $ / h | h / month | Compute $ / month | Disk / month $ | Total $ / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| g4dn.xlarge | 16 | 4 | NVIDIA T4 | Yes | 100 | $0.163 | 10 | $1.63 | $8.00 | $9.63 |
| g4dn.2xlarge | 32 | 8 | NVIDIA T4 | Yes | 100 | $0.256 | 30 | $7.67 | $8.00 | $15.67 |
| g5.2xlarge | 32 | 8 | NVIDIA A10G | Yes | 250 | $0.412 | 30 | $12.36 | $20.00 | $32.36 |
| g6.2xlarge | 32 | 8 | NVIDIA L4 | Yes | 250 | $0.391 | 30 | $11.73 | $20.00 | $31.73 |

Egress costs - Data transfer out from Amazon to Internet
AWS bills data transfer out to internet past a 100GB free data threshold. As Cloudy Pad streams from AWS to your machine via internet, you may be billed for data transfer past a certain usage. AWS bills 0.09$ per GB in most regions up to 10 TB after the free threshold.
Past 40 or 50 hours per month, AWS may start billing additional data transfer charges.
Considering a 1080p 60 FPS stream, data transfer would be around 2.25 GB/hr @ 5 Mbps, incuring additional cost depending on time played:
| Time played / month (h) | 10 | 20 | 40 | 44 | 50 | 60 | 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data transfered (GB) | 22.50 | 45.00 | 90.00 | 99.00 | 112.50 | 135.00 | 225.00 |
| Cost ($) | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $1.13 | $3.15 | $11.25 |
