But if you have a very low traffic app and set Min Idle Instances to 1, that will use your free 24 instance hours, and then when you get traffic it could temporarily spin up instances which would be paid for. > How am I supposed to tweak my application settings ? > Without knowing more detailed information about your application setting Min Idle Instances to 1 and Max Idle Instance to 1, then Min Pending Latency to a reasonable level for you (maybe 200ms?) that will minimize how frequently the Scheduler will create new instances. > What control will we have on these instance hours ? > More information can be found here: http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/postpreviewpricing.html#adjustments_available_scheduler > It feels like the 24 hours free quota will in fact never be enough if we > set "Minimum/Maximum idle instances" to 1 as some dynamic instances will > frequently be created just to serve a warmup request in most cases. > Yes, if you always have 1 idle instance running you'll likely go at least somewhat above the free quota. But again, that is the same as it is today, in order to keep Always On instances running you need to pay something for it. I hope that helps answer some of your questions!
