The offering comes with usage-based billing and will be part of your Azure invoice. With the pay-as-you-go plan, you are charged only for the duration when the Kyvos cluster is running. The charges are determined by the number of cores in your BI Servers and Query Engines. Consequently, the instance type used for your BI Server and Query Engine will determine the cost you will incur.
Let's understand the Kyvos pricing model with an example of a deployment scenario with high availability of a BI Server and five Query Engines. The BI Servers are deployed on Standard_D16s_v4 (16 cores each), and each Query Engine is deployed on Standard_E16ds_v4 (16 cores each). Therefore, the maximum running cores for an hour will be 112. As Kyvos is monitoring the load, all the Query Engines will automatically reduce to moderate capacity (8 cores each) when there are no queries for a certain amount of time (30 minutes). Thereafter, the Query Engines will automatically shut down if there are no queries for the next 30 minutes. When the Query Engines are shut down, and a query comes to Kyvos, the BI Server will start the Query Engine with moderate capacity (8 cores each), and on subsequent queries, it will bring the cluster to full capacity (16 cores each).
Important
You will be charged for the exact number of cores used, even if the cluster is running at a different capacity for just an hour.
You can configure the scale-up and down rules for your cluster from the Cluster Scaling page of Kyvos.
To understand the cost in dollar value, the default plan for Kyvos comes with a pricing of $0.41 per core per hour. If a cluster with 112 cores is running at full capacity, the approximate cost would be $46 per hour. For moderate capacity, the cost will be approximately $29.5 per hour. When all Query Engines are down, and only one BI server is running, the cost will be approximately $6.5 per hour. You can also contact us for a private offer.
