Dimensions summary
You pay for pixstor based on usage. This listing has one pricing dimension: usable capacity, charged per TB per hour. Your cost scales with how much storage capacity you use and how long you keep it active. There are no fixed tiers or instance sizes to choose from. As your usable capacity grows or shrinks, your hourly charge adjusts accordingly. A Marketplace deployment provides a working parallel file system for high-performance computing and AI workloads, billed only for the capacity you consume.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is a terabyte of usable storage capacity, measured hourly. The system tracks how much capacity you have provisioned and multiplies it by the hours it stays active. Each Marketplace deployment starts as a working 1TB parallel file system, then bills for the capacity you actually use.
Your hourly charge tracks your active usable capacity. When you add capacity, the per-hour rate applies to the larger amount. When you reduce it, the charge falls accordingly. There are no fixed tiers, so changes take effect as your capacity changes, without a manual upgrade step.
This is usage-based billing with no upfront capacity commitment. You are metered per terabyte per hour on the capacity you keep active. This suits workloads where storage needs vary, since you pay only for what you use during each hour rather than a fixed reserved amount.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
