Question on costs

[mcgarrah]

Is there a ballpark on the costs to run this? If I left it running for a month what is the baseline cost involved with no workload.

Hi @mcgarrah

The following is an illustration. The actual cost will be based on your usage. A reasonable lab set up would be to have DOKS installed with Starter Kit. For example, the following configuration will cost you $65/month, prorated hourly.

1. DOKS -> $40 per month for 2 AMD/Intel nodes with 4GB/2VCPU each.
2. Block Storage for 10 days of retention (<10GB)-> $1.
3. DO Spaces (<50GB) -> $1.
4. DO Load Balancer -> $10 per month.

One obvious question is the resources used by the Starter Kit components. Based on our analysis, it is about 1 CPU & 2GB RAM. So you will have the remaining compute/memory resources available for your workloads.

Hope it helps.
