Elastic Licenses
#
ECK works on two licenses: basic and enterprise. At KFUPM we purchased platinum license, there we cannot use ECK, forced to upgrade the existing Virtual Machine based nodes.
How charges for licenses? #
They charge per node basis. Each license type has it own definition about what a node is. E.g. in platinum a machine with 64GB RAM is a node.
Platinum vs Enterprise licenses ATTACH #
To purchase platinum license minimum 3 nodes should be purchased and for enterprise license minimum of 6 nodes should be purchased.
Rough estimation of pricing, from meeting with : platinum 25k SAR per node, for 3 minimum, it will be around 80k SAR, what we paid already. enterprise 50k SAR per node, for 6 minimum nodes, it will be around 300k SAR per annum.
More details about the licenses are attached in the pdf on parent of this node. #
ECK vs Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) #
- Both of them requires enterprise license.
- ECE will give on premise extra dashboards to manage deployments, similar to the dashobards we get while using elastic on cloud SAAS service. Will run on Virtual Machines
- ECK, no such dashboard, but the installations will be on .
