Flexible Consumption Pricing Model

TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition and Plug-ins for AWS Marketplace uses consumption-based pricing model to calculate the cost of running TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application on AWS Marketplace Metering Service. You pay only for the number of containers running per hour. This gives you flexibility to scale on demand and manage software cost on the go. All charges are incurred hourly by the customer. Usage is calculated and billed monthly.

Software Cost for FCP

TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition and Plug-ins for AWS Marketplace uses "Consumption Unit" as a Flexible Consumption Pricing (FCP) dimension when sending metering records to AWS Marketplace Metering Service. The metering service uses this dimension to meter the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition and Plug-ins consumption per hour and charges the customer based on the consumption.

One TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application docker container uses 5 TIBCO BusinessWorks consumption units per hour and one ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks plug-in uses 2 TIBCO BusinessWorks consumption units per hour.

For Example,

Assume that 1 TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application container is running for 10 hours and the TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition application uses 3 BusinessWorks Plug-ins supported with TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition for AWS marketplace:

1 TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition App Container = 5 TIBCO BusinessWorks Consumption Units per hour

1 BW Plug-in = 2 TIBCO BusinessWorks consumption units per hour

Total units consumed per hour = 1*5 + 3*2 = 11 TIBCO BusinessWorks Consumption Units

Total units consumed in 10 hours = 10*11 = 110 TIBCO BusinessWorks ConsumptionUnit Hrs

Total Price for the app container = 110 * Price for 1 TIBCO BusinessWorks Consumption Unit

Note: Price per consumption unit is listed on the AWS Marketplace page for TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition and Plug-ins. On Billing dashboard for your AWS account, you can see the total ConsumptionUnitHrs for TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition and Plug-ins and the software cost is calculated based on consumption.
Note: For BYOL, software cost is not paid through AWS Marketplace. Users can use their existing TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition software licenses purchased from TIBCO.

AWS Infrastructure Cost

Users incur associated AWS infrastructure charges depending on the services and infrastructure used such as AWS EC2, S3, EBS and so on. These rates and fees are defined and controlled by AWS and can vary between regions.

Note: If the target group is not configured correctly for an application, the health check fails and the application is stopped. I this scenario, the new container spins up and you are charged for the each new container spinned up automatically till the time you fixes the target group or deletes the application service.
