Kyvos provides a provision to use Kyvos credits for multiple deployments, such as Production, Non-Production, Dev, Active HA, and so on. When this license model is used, the usage is shown in terms of Kyvos credits. The credits consumed by all deployments are deducted from the total Kyvos credits purchased. In this licensing model, there is no provision to purchase separate credits for different layers, such as Compute, Storage, and Build Services.
There are two payment models in the credit-based license type:
- Pay-as-you-use (PAYU): In this payment model, you pay as per your usage. The usage is deducted from the total of the purchased Kyvos credits. In your Kyvos license, the rates (defined in credits) for each Kyvos layer are explicitly specified for each deployment. Therefore, the credits consumed by each deployment are deducted from the total credits you have purchased. If your PAYU credits are exhausted, contact Kyvos Support to update the license and increase the credits.
- Reserved credits: In this payment model, you pay in advance to reserve the Kyvos Query layer and/or the Services layer. Hence, credits consumed by these layers are not deducted from the total of the purchased Kyvos credits.
For more information, refer to the section Understanding Kyvos Licensing Model.
