| Compute machines per user | Resource quota | Plan comparison → |
| CPU cores and memory | Resource quota | Plan comparison → |
| Machine lifetime (Akua-managed) | Resource quota | Plan comparison → |
| Concurrent machine provisions per cluster | Concurrency limit | Quotas → Concurrency limits → |
| Cloud-provider API call rate | Rate limit | Quotas → Rate limits → |
Bring your own cloud key
BYOM machines bypass the machine, CPU, and memory resource quotas (you pay the provider directly). Cluster, concurrency, and rate limits still apply because they protect the control plane regardless of who pays for the compute. Full details on the BYOM section of Quotas.Pricing
Cluster and machine costs are part of Akua’s plan tiers. Pro includes more headroom and removes the 7-day machine lifetime cap; Enterprise allows custom overrides.Plan comparison
Free vs Pro: included clusters, machines, CPU, memory, and overage pricing.
