thanks for providing concrete figures! I will continue without concrete figures and just back-of-the-envelope computations. If I remember well (this is the very unconcrete point), our throughput for bayfront at Aquilenet is about 100Mb/s. Some of it is between bayfront and the bordeaux build machines (so would not count if everything were in the same cloud), some of it is serving users (and could stay on bayfront without being counted). After a complete optimisation, every package would have to be transferred once out of the cloud to the user facing server, while keeping all packages that are still needed as inputs additionally in the cloud. I do not know how much this would be; given that ideally every commit series should go through QA, I think it could end up being quite a lot. 100Mb/s amounts to 32TB/month, which would cost about 3000€. Compared to hosting, this is completely outrageous - notice that right now at Aquilenet, we pay 75€ for one machine and not really limited bandwidth. After discussion with people at Aquilenet, I think it would be reasonable to assume (no guarantee, also from a back-of-the-envelope computation) we would need to pay about 100€/month for every additional 1U-machine we would like to host in their rack. A small part of it is the rack space, another small part the additional bandwidth, and the main part the electricity cost. (Thus the estimate of 3000€/month for 30 machines.) Andreas
