Pricing

Pricing customization

PerfectScale Pricing Profiles feature allows you to customize how your cluster's price is calculated for more accurate data. This can be especially helpful if you have special pricing conditions from your cloud provider.

• There are options to use the Pricing Profile provided by PerfectScale or the Custom one.

• PerfectScale allows the creation of unlimited Custom Pricing Profiles.

💡NOTE: Each cluster can have only one single Pricing Profile.

🛠️ How to create Pricing Profile

There are two options for creating a Profile: from the Settings tab or directly from the Overview.

From the Settings tab

Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select Pricing -> click the +Add Profile button -> select Custom -> name the profile and put the needed values in the relevant fields -> click Save button.

From the Overview tab

Go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the custom Pricing Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> click on Add New Profile in the Pricing Profile drop-down list -> name and configure your profile -> click the Save And Apply button -> click the Save Changes button.

Profile configurations

PerfectScale offers various options for customizing pricing to meet your needs. Check the following instructions for pricing profile configurations

• Custom Pricing configuration - a configuration set for manual unique billing conditions adjusting.

• AWS CUR Pricing configuration - a configuration set to start using AWS CUR pricing.

• Azure CUR Pricing configuration - a configuration set to start using Azure CUR pricing.

🛠️ How to apply Pricing Profile

Apply to a single cluster

To apply Pricing Profile to the cluster, go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the custom Pricing Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> select the needed profile in the Pricing Profile drop-down list.

Apply to multiple clusters

To apply the profile to multiple clusters from a single view, use the Manage Assignments feature.

Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select the Pricing -> click the Manage Assignments button -> apply the profiles for the needed clusters -> click the Save Changes button.

💡NOTE: You can easily manage your profiles (create, delete), but deleting such profiles is impossible if the profile is already connected to the cluster. Change the profile to default or any other, and only after that remove the current.
