The licensing depends on the type and number of Droplets connected to Jelastic PaaS LE. The recommended infrastructure requirements for initial setup of the cluster are 100 GB disk space, 8 GB RAM, and 4 CPU cores. However, based on the needs, there can be selected droplets of various capacities:
- 4 GB RAM (minimum requirement) - suitable for initial testing
- 8 GB RAM - appropriate for small projects
- 16GB+ RAM - recommended for production and large size development environments
The Droplet type can be chosen during the installation steps using a convenient DigitalOcean wizard. And the number of droplets can be easily increased via intuitive Jelastic admin panel or using simple command lines.
"With more developers as well as small and midsized businesses turning to apps to power their projects, our goal is to make app creation and management easier from start to finish," said Apurva Joshi, DigitalOcean VP Product. "Jelastic's PaaS offering on DigitalOcean automates creation, scaling, clustering and security updates, enabling developers to spend less time worrying about infrastructure, and more time managing their applications."
Currently, Jelastic PaaS Lite Edition goes with a free beta license that allows to run up to 10 nodes (max 64 GB RAM each) paying only for consumed infrastructure.
