Overview

Overview

When Customers opt to operate their system by utilizing IaaS, they are required to HA configurations (e.g., load balancer and multiple VMware), middle wares, monitoring systems, security patches, adding to operate application development.
This service makes customers free from the operations by providing these kind of execution environment as a cloud service.

Features

  • Using Cloud Foundry, which is open source software for application platforms, we provide application execution environments without any vendor lock-in.

  • General programming languages such as Java, PHP, Ruby are available.

  • We provide Shared Cloud Foundry (Shared CF), which is available at low cost, and Virtual Private Cloud Foundry (Virtual Private CF), which is connected with customers’ logical networks.

Details

Shared CF
This is the Plan that shares Customers’ executable environmental resources.
Whilst it is possible for Customers to utilize this menu at an inexpensive rate, there will also be a possibility where other Customers’ application(s) may affect theirs.
FQDNs that are used to access applications are defaulted at a combination of “Customers’ optional Host Name and Service Provider’s Shared Domain”, but customers’ domain names are also available.
Customers can utilize their independent domain by adding a CNAME record (userapp.(region-name).eclpaas.com) to the Customers’ DNS.
Instance size can be selected within the capacities of 128MB through to 8GB.
Uppermost maximum of Instance that is creatable for one (1) Tenant will be 40GB.
Uppermost maximum of creatable service will be at 100 for one (1) Tenant.
Virtual Private CF
Dedicated resource for operating applications.
Due to connections with customers’ logical networks, both the Internet and closed networks are available.
FQDNs that are used to access applications are defaulted at a combination of “Customers’ optional Host Name and Service Provider’s Shared Domain”, but customers’ domain names are also available.
Instance size can be selected within the capacities of 128MB through to 8GB.
The maximum number of Virtual Private CFs creatable per tenant is 10.
The maximum numbers of CF Routers and Cells available for a Virtual Private CF are 30 and 100, respectively. Memory size of 16GB is available per Cell. If you require more than these, please contact our Support.

Subscription Method

Plan

Subscription Method

Shared CF

Customers don’t need to apply for this menu. Customers can just deploy and control applications via CLI tools, portal, or API.

Virtual Private CF

Please apply by web dashboard. It will be opened within 10 business days after application. Changes to CF Router and Cell will be handled within 5 business days after application with Web dashboard.

Terms and Conditions

Conditions in Combining with Other Services

  • Conditions in Combining with Other Services are not set for Shared CF.

  • To use Virtual Private CF, outbound communication through the Internet is required because Cloud Foundry acquires middleware from the Internet at the time of application deployment. Protocols used are DNS (TCP, UDP/53), http (TCP/80), https (TCP/443). Please refer to the Tutorial for examples of the network configuration. Also DHCP function in Logical Network attached to Virtual Private CF need to be enabled.

Monthly Fees

  • This menu’s monthly fees are billed as follows:

Plan

Monthly Fees

Supplementary Remarks

Shared CF

Monthly uppermost maximum added metric rate at each second.

Operable hours of application will be the billing subject; therefore, at such hours the application is not in duration, no charge will be added.
For each Tenant, Instance use for every hour will be calculated and which will subsequently become the subject of bills, worth 500 hours of timetable unit will be the subject of the bill. Since it is fixed flat rate, Customers’ use for more than 500 hours will be billed at no charge.
*If there is rounding error during calculation, it will be rounded down.
Virtual Private CF

Monthly bills with capped metered uppermost maximum (per minute).

Regardless of whether applications are running, customers will be chaged based on the numbers of CF Routers and Cells.
Because subscription of a new environment and the applications migration are required to update the Cloud Foundry itself, basic charge of the second environment shall be free for initial 30 days in case of a subscription of a second Virtual Private CF environment within the same tenant. It will be charged, however, even for initial 30 days for a third environment and beyond.
*If there is rounding error during calculation, it will be rounded down.
  • This menu’s optional functions for each month are billed as follows:

Quality of Service

Support Coverage

  • Our support covers the functions that is provided by the Buildpacks of the supported language, anywhere else, such as Customers’ applications will not be covered with support.

  • At such time as Customers’ own Buildpack is brought in to utilize, support will not be covered to Customers who are essentially responsible for all scope which includes middle ware utilized along with the brought-in Buildpack.


Operations

  • Qualities of this menu’s operations correspond to that which is accommodated within the standard operations’ quality for a regular service of ECL2.0.

SLA

  • This menu does not cover or correspond to SLA details.

Restrictions

  • A local disk attached with Application Disks is volatile; therefore, it is possible for Customers are warned of possible loss of data stored via application either at reboot for application or at the Instance switch-over.

  • Applications can NOT communicate by listening to via application-own ports.

  • Build-In service for development costs Customers no charge; however, it is possible for Customers to have an intermittent service interruption at which time, data restoration for such could not be guaranteed.

  • Even outside the maintenance window, the customer application may be restarted due to Cloud Foundry based maintenance.

  • In Virtual Private CF, we prioritize the stability of applications; therefore we don’t update Cloud Foundry without critical security updates. If an update of Cloud Foundry is needed, customers can do it by applying new Virtual Private CF and migrating applications.

  • In Virtual Private CF, if outbound traffic to the Internet is unavailable, parts of Buildpack are unavailable.

  • Virtual Private CF will be provided within 10 business days from the next day of application. Changing settings (increase / decrease of CF Router and Cell, addition / deletion of NW, change of DNS server, addition / deletion of certificate) will be handled within 5 business days from the next day of the application date.

  • It may takes time to provision Virtual Private CF when customer wishes to use huge amount of resource.

  • In case of DNS server change in the Virtual Private CF, a short break of the network and rebooting of the applications will occur during the work time. In case of increase/decrease of CF Routers, addition/removal of NW, or addition/change/deletion of certificates, a short break of the network will occur during the work time. Increase of Cells will not affect services during the work time. Decrease of Cells, if instances exist in a work target Cell, will cause reboot of the corresponding instances in other Cell.

  • On Virtual Private CF, service monitoring including application deployment will be conducted from Service Provider’s environment. Due to operational nature of Cloud Foundry, Internet outbound traffics may occur in conjunction with the service monitoring.
