|
## CloudBox (CB)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Is a unit of compute, fast storage and memory.
|
||
|
|
There are unlimited different configurations of cloudboxes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A configuration of a machine defines the cloudboxes which can be made.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cloudboxes can be aggregated to make a bigger cloudbox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default cloudbox has
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 4GB memory
|
||
|
|
- 2 virtual cores of CPU
|
||
|
|
- minimal 50 GB of fast storage (can be more, as to be defined by provider)
|
||
|
|
- minimal availability of 1 mbit/s bandwidth at all times
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Terms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The virtual cores are max oversubscribed 4x
|
||
|
|
- Min passmark per cloudbox is 500 passmark (CPU benchmark)
|
||
|
|
- At least 50 GB storage available, more is better
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CloudHour (CH)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Is like a kwatth unit for electricty, it represents a cloudbox being used for 1h and billed as such.
