Calculating the registry cost
| 🌐 This document is available in both English and Ukrainian. Use the language toggle in the top right corner to switch between versions. |
The total cost of resources required for your registry includes registry-exclusive costs and shared services costs.
One pool of shared services can potentially serve dozens of registries, and its operation costs are distributed among those registries. Shared services include the following:
-
The system for automatic deployment, scaling, and management of applications in Openshift containers (master and workers).
-
The distributed file storage subsystem (Ceph).
-
The event logging a subsystem.
-
The Platform’s secret management subsystem (Central Vault).
-
The Platform’s backup copies storage (Minio).
-
Secure exchange gateway.
1. Standard configurations
When deploying your registry using standard templates, refer to the following cost estimates:
| Template | Number of VMs | Monthly VM cost | Monthly VM disk cost | Monthly distributed storage cost | Monthly traffic cost | Monthly shared services cost | Monthly total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

2. Cost calculator
Use the following calculator to estimate the cost of resources required to operate the registry that meets specific requirements:
On the Set registry size sheet, the Your registry row contains calculation results. Underneath, you can configure your registry parameters.
2.1. Results
- Number of VMs
-
The estimated number of virtual machines necessary to operate the registry that meets the parameters you specified.
- Cost
-
The estimated monthly cost of operation based on Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform prices. It includes the cost of virtual machines for the registry and shared services of the Platform.
