Question by Benjamin Bennett · Nov 19, 2021 at 07:59 PM · Matchmakingmultiplayerpricing

Pricing Question About PlayFab Servers (Using Linux Instances)

I have a 1v1 player versus player game running on PlayFab multiplayer servers. The cost for a 2 core Dasv4 server is $.1003 per hour. Is that $.1003 per VM hour or per container hour?

If my VM can host 60 docker instances at a time and let's say at all 60 instances are active:

That could either be $.1003 for the hour or $6.018 for the hour. My game is going to launch pretty soon so have lots of stand-by servers for the initial rush is really important so I want to make sure I'm optimizing this correctly.

The cost is priced per VM hour, and it won’t change no matter how many containers are active in a VM instance. For the condition you mentioned, that will be $.1003 per hour.

For more information, please refer to Consumption pricing for PlayFab Multiplayer Servers.
