A node is a physical or virtual server/machine.

A cluster is a set of virtual or physical machines that are configured to work together to provide compute services for one or more applications. A cluster may consist of up to 3 nodes that carry out control-plane functions for the clusters, and an unlimited number of nodes to host application containers.

Yes! As the number of clusters or nodes increases the price per cluster or per node decreases.

Our customers love to experiment, and we don’t ding them for it. We don’t charge for cluster/node count spikes, but look at the running average of clusters or nodes in use when calculating usage.

The management overhead for helping our customers operate dev vs prod clusters is effectively the same, so we treat all clusters (or nodes) the same.

Rafay has a true-up forward policy, meaning that we don’t carry out chargebacks for scenarios where the consumption in a completed billing cycle exceeded the licensed count. If the new, steady-state number of clusters/nodes is expected to be higher, our customer success team will discuss the situation with you, and take steps to adjust billing accordingly for the next billing cycle.

Enterprise Support is available at an additional fee equaling 20% of the cluster or node subscription.
