Acceptable Use

Acceptable Use Policy

CPU is a type of Kubernetes compute resources measured in CPU units (vCPU on Puzl). On Puzl, 1 vCPU is equivalent to one thread of AMD EPYC 2nd Gen core, 2.5GHz or higher.

## Available processors

| Model | Kubernetes resource name | Clock | L3 Cache |
| :- | :-: | :-: | :-: |
| AMD EPYC™ 7502 | `cpu` | 2.5GHz | 128Mb |

## Billing

Usage is billed on **per-second basis**. The amount of vCPU spent by the Customer is calculated to the nearest second. Standard [Service Level Agreement]({{slaPage}}) applies.

Refer to a particular [service]({{pricingPage}}) to see price.

## Exclusive and shared cores

Some calculations require using exclusive CPU cores, otherwise performance may drop due to high L3 cache utilization. To request exclusive cores, you should set vCPU as an integer number.

Exclusive CPU cores are used only by you. To prevent cross-socket traffic they are allocated on the same CPU socket, and, if [GPU](/resources/gpu) is requested, on the same socket with GPU (if there are free GPUs on this socket).

## Restrictions

1. Puzl doesn't support vCPU units less than `1m` like `n` and `u`. See more about [CPU units in Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/assign-cpu-resource/#cpu-units).

These terms of use (the “Terms”) of Puzl Cloud Marketplace (the “Marketplace”) are agreed by and between **Puzl Cloud**, which means GPU Computing OÜ (the private limited company registered in Estonia with registration code 14476114) and **you**, being a customer (“Customer”) in the meaning of the Puzl Cloud Platform customer agreement (the “Customer Agreement”). 

The Terms are in force as of the date Customer clicks to accept the Terms, and they are incorporated into the Customer Agreement. The conditions for using the Marketplace and capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms have the meaning given to them in the Customer Agreement.

## 1. Use of the Marketplace

1.1. These Terms govern Customer’s access to and use of the Marketplace. The Marketplace is an online service that enables Customer to deploy and use Products made available through the Marketplace. Subject to these Terms, Customer may use the Marketplace and Products during the Term.

1.2. These Terms do not govern the terms and conditions of use of Products. The Products’ terms are governed by the third-party terms of use and software licenses associated with such Products. Customer agrees that Products are not subject to these Terms or Customer Agreement, and they are not created, owned or endorsed by Puzl Cloud. Puzl Cloud makes no representation or warranty that such Product, their compositions, descriptions, or displays are accurate, complete, or up to date. Puzl Cloud does not monitor, control, or assume any liability associated with Products and is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or nature of such Products or the security practices or general privacy policies (including data collection or use policies) of the Providers offering such Products.

Data Processing and Security Terms

Puzl provides both shared and dedicated IP addresses. Shared IP addresses are assigned to your workloads for free and used by default. Dedicated IP address can be requested as part of Puzl services (e.g. [TCP/UDP Balancer](/cloud-kubernetes/tcp-udp-balancer)). It will be allocated exclusively for you. Traffic routing depends on a particular service.

## Billing

Usage is billed on a **daily basis** in advance. Standard [Service Level Agreement]({{slaPage}}) applies .

Refer to a [particular service]({{pricingPage}}) to see price.


Dedicated IPv4 address

You can request NVIDIA® GPUs optionally for your Workload.

## Fractional GPU

Puzl is the first cloud platform offering a fractional Nvidia GPU rent. Fractional devices are based on [Nvidia MIG](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/technologies/multi-instance-gpu/) technology. MIG-based devices are fully isolated from the other users and processes, which means that you can use them like a regular GPU.

Fractional GPUs let you save the costs for the tasks when you don't need an excessive computing capacity. They are especially good at horizontal scaling of AI\ML inference. 

## Billing

Usage is billed on **per-second basis**. The amount of GPU-hours spent by the Customer is calculated to the nearest second. Standard [Service Level Agreement]({{slaPage}}) applies .

Refer to a particular [service]({{pricingPage}}) to see price.




RAM (or memory) is a type of Kubernetes resources measured in MB. You can request RAM by specifying request (minimal amount that is guaranteed to be allocated to your Workload) and limit (maximal amount that your Workload can utilize).

<Note>
If you specify limit different than request, using memory over the set limits may result in Workload termination. See more in{" "}

Memory

Pods is a service for leasing computing resources (e.g. CPU, GPU, RAM) by deploying Pods – a group of containers running in a cluster. When Kubernetes deploys a Pod, it assigns to it one of the two classes of the quality of service (QoS). Pods are offered in the following QoS classes:

### Guaranteed

- Every container in a Pod must have a RAM limit and a RAM request, and these must be the same.
- Every container in a Pod must have a CPU limit and a CPU request, and these must be the same.

### Burstable

- The Pod does not meet the criteria for the Guaranteed QoS class.

Pods as a service commences at the moment of the allocation of computing resources to Customer in a cluster. Computing resources requested for each container of a Pod shall be regarded as having been allocated from the moment a Pod obtains the `PodScheduled` condition. The Pods service shall be provided in full, and Customer shall be considered to have full ability to manage it when the allocated resources are available and the server they are located on is connected to the internet. Resources shall be regarded as having been released when all Pod’s containers are finished. The moment of such release is the moment when the last Pod’s container is finished. The Pods offered in the Guaranteed QoS class can be (automatically) finished only in case the server they are located on shuts down (becomes non-available). The Pods offered in the Burstable QoS class can be evicted from the server (finished) at any time in case the RAM used by a Pod exceeds the RAM request.  

Pods Service Level Agreement

Puzl Cloud has agreed to provide Puzl Cloud Platform services to the Customer as applicable in the Customer Agreement. This Puzl Cloud Platform Service Level Agreement (hereinafter the SLA) is a policy governing the use of the Included Services (listed below) and shall separately apply to each Customer Account using the Included Services. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this SLA and the terms of the Agreement or other agreement with Puzl Cloud governing the use of the Services by the Customer, the terms and conditions of this SLA shall prevail, but only to the extent of such conflict. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

## Included Services

Kubernetes is an open-source platform which automates operations. A cluster refers to the group of servers (bare metal or virtual machines) running Kubernetes. 

- [Pods](/terms/service-level-agreement/pods)
- [Volumes](/terms/service-level-agreement/volumes)

## General Service Commitment

- Puzl Cloud guarantees **100% service for the Fees paid**, meaning that the Customer only pays for the time period when the Included Services are provided (the “Service Commitment”). 
- Regular maintenance. Puzl Cloud shall notify the Customer via email detailing maintenance work to be carried out and the possible impact on the Customer. Such notifications shall be given at least 36 hours prior to the maintenance being carried out, and Puzl Cloud shall endeavour, wherever practical, to keep the maintenance times as short as possible. Maintenance means any work carried out by Puzl Cloud in order to upgrade, improve or maintain the Included Service (including a telecommunications link, any hardware or software) including any modification, change, addition or replacement which does not materially detract from, reduce or impair the overall quality or performance of the Included Services. The Customer shall not pay the Fees if the provision of the Included Services during such maintenance is stopped or the Included Services are not available. 
- Puzl Cloud shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Included Services to Customer with the best possible availability. The Customer however acknowledges that for technical reasons as well as due to Puzl Cloud’s dependence on external factors (e.g. unavailability of telecommunications networks, electricity outages, hardware and/or software failure etc), the uninterrupted availability of the Included Services cannot be guaranteed. The Customer can therefore not assert a claim for continual access to the Included Services. Access restrictions of a temporary nature shall not constitute grounds for warranty claims or a right to extraordinary termination. 
- Shut-down of the cluster server. Puzl Cloud specifically points out that, due to various technical reasons and its dependence on external factors, the uninterrupted uptime of a server (i.e. the period when the server is working and available) with a scheduled Kubernetes Platform Object, cannot be guaranteed. In this case a 1-minute error in computing billing Fees for is allowed.
- In the event any of the Included Services do not meet the Service Commitment, the Customer shall be eligible for a refund as described in the Customer Agreement. 
- The SLA response time to Customer request for technical support is 2 working days. 

  




Service Level Agreement

Volume is a service for storing and accessing Customer data by allocating a data storage space in a cluster. Volumes are requested by creating a `PersistentVolumeClaim` object in the Kubernetes. Volume as a service commences at the moment of the allocation of a data storage space to the Customer in a cluster. A data storage space is allocated at the moment of the creation of a `PersistentVolume` object which is bound to the PersistentVolumeClaim. Puzl Cloud may offer various storage classes to create Volume. If there is no `PersistentVolume` object for each `PersistentVolumeClaim` for a particular storage class, the moment of the data storage space allocation is the moment when a `PersistentVolumeClaim` object acquires the `Bound` status. A data storage space shall be regarded as released at the moment when the `PersistentVolumeClaim` object acquired the `Terminated` status.

Puzl Cloud offers various versions of the Included Services. All current specifications and Fees for these versions can be found in [pricing table]({{pricingPage}}). Any service provided by Puzl Cloud free of charge may be discontinued at any time. In such case, the Customer shall not be entitled to claim the continuation of this type of service.
