What level of availability does IBM Cloud offer? 

The level of availability that you set up for your cluster impacts your coverage on the IBM Cloud high availability service level agreement terms.

Service level objectives (SLOs) describe the design points that the IBM Cloud services are engineered to meet. IBM Cloudant is designed to achieve the following availability target.



Table 1. SLA for IBM Cloudant

 Availability target Target Value 

 Availability % 99.99% 



Refer to [Cloud Services terms](https://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/sla/bm?OpenDocument) for commitments and credits that are issued for failure to meet any committed SLAs. For more information, see the [IBM Cloudant Service descriptions](https://www-03.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf/sla/bm-6627-07).





 Locations 

For more information about service availability within regions and data centers, see [Service and infrastructure availability by location](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-services_region).
See this whitepaer on [Splitting the load](https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/KDPB1REE) to learn more about this topic. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) should be used at most only for intermediate storage during processing. All final data (or even intermediate data) should be written to IBM Cloud Object Storage before the cluster is deleted. If your intermediate storage requirements exceed the HDFS space available on a node, you can add more nodes to the cluster.
* How many IBM Analytics Engine clusters can I spin up?

There is no limit to the number of clusters you can spin up.
* Is there a free usage tier to try IBM Analytics Engine?

Yes, we provide the Lite plan which can be used free of charge. However, this plan is available only to institutions that have signed up with IBM to try out the Lite plan. See [How does the Lite plan work](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs?tab=faqslite-plan)?

When you move to a paid plan, you are entitled to $200 in credit that can be used against IBM Analytics Engine or any service on IBM Cloud. This credit is only allocated once.
* How does the Lite plan work?

The Lite plan provides 50 node-hours of free IBM Analytics Engine usage. One cluster can be provisioned every 30 days. After the 50 node-hours are exhausted, you can upgrade to a paid plan within 24 hours to continue using the same cluster. If you do not upgrade within 24 hours, the cluster will be deleted and you have to provision a new one after the 30 day limit has passed.

A cluster created using a Lite plan has 1 master and 1 data node (2 nodes in total) and will run for 25 hours on the clock (50 hours/2 nodes). The node-hours cannot be paused, for example, you cannot use 10 node-hours, pause, and then come back and use the remaining 40 node-hours.

Remember that you must sign up with IBM to try out the Lite plan.
* What types of service maintenance exist in IBM Analytics Engine?

Occasionally, we need to update the IBM Analytics Engine service.
For details, see [Launching the Knowledge Studio application](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/docs/watson-knowledge-studio?topic=watson-knowledge-studio-wks_tutintrolaunching-the-knowledge-studio-application).
* Can I change from a Standard to Lite plan?

Downgrading your plan for Knowledge Studio is not supported. You can, however, manage users, storage, billing, and usage with options such as setting limits or notifications. For information on these management options, refer to [Upgrading your pricing plan](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-knowledge-studio?topic=watson-knowledge-studio-upgrade).
* Why can't I create a new instance on the Lite plan?

You can have only one instance of a Lite plan per service. To create a new instance, delete your existing Lite plan instance. Or upgrade your plan to create more instances of the Knowledge Studio service.
* When are annotation tasks moved to archive?

When you revert to an older version of the machine learning model, all annotation tasks are archived because they are no longer valid. In other words, the tasks you were working on are archived because the previous model snapshot was promoted. Knowledge Studio does not have a capability to re-activate an archived task. You can create new annotation tasks following the snapshot restoration. To learn more, see [Making machine learning model improvements](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-knowledge-studio?topic=watson-knowledge-studio-improve-ml).
* How do I export and import a workspace?

You can backup and restore a workspace by following the steps in [Backing up and restoring data](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-knowledge-studio?topic=watson-knowledge-studio-backup-restore). These backup and restore tasks allow you to perform a manual data migration from one Knowledge Studio instance to another, backing up your data from one instance and restoring it on another instance.
* Experimental services and features: What does experimental mean?

IBM releases experimental services and features for you to try out.
In April, we announced [a new low cost entry point](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-assistant?topic=watson-assistant-watson-assistant-release-noteswatson-assistant-apr012020) for the Plus plan. Today, the Standard plan is being retired. Existing Standard plan users are not impacted; they can continue to work in their Standard instances. New users do not see the Standard plan as an option when they create a service instance. For more information, see the [Pricing](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/watson-assistant/pricing/) page.

FAQ - One Rate plans 

Frequently asked questions can produce helpful answers and insight into best practices for working with IBM Cloud® Object Storage.



 What is the difference between a Standard and One Rate plan? 



* Standard plan is our most popular public Cloud pricing plan, that meets the requirements of majority of the enterprise workloads. The Standard plan is best suited for workloads that have large amount of storage and relatively small Outbound bandwidth (Outbound bandwidth < 20% of Storage capacity). The plan offers flexible choices for storage class based on data access patterns (lower the cost, the less frequently data is accessed). The Standard plan bills for every stored capacity ($/GB/month), Outbound bandwidth ($/GB), class A ($/1,000), class B ($/10,000) and retrieval ($/GB) metrics, where applicable.
* One Rate plan is suited for active workloads with large amounts of Outbound bandwidth (or varying Outbound bandwidth) as a percent of their Storage capacity (Outbound bandwidth > 20% of Storage capacity). Typical workloads belong to large enterprises and ISVs which may have sub-accounts with multiple divisions/departments or end-users. The plan offers a predictable TCO with an all-inclusive flat monthly charge ($/GB/month) that includes capacity, and built-in allowances for Outbound bandwidth and Operational requests. The built-in allowances for Outbound bandwidth and Operational requests (Class A, Class B) depend on the monthly stored capacity. There is no data retrieval charge.







 How are the allowance thresholds (for Outbound bandwidth, class A and class B) calculated for the One-Rate plan? 

For each of the One-Rate plan pricing regions(North America, Europe, South America,and Asia Pacific), the total aggregated Storage capacity across all instances (within a region) is used to determine the allowance thresholds.



* Outbound bandwidth: No charge if Outbound bandwidth ≤ 100% of Storage capacity in GB, then list prices apply ($0.05/GBfor North America and Europe, $0.08/GB for South America and Asia Pacific).
IBM Cloudant and IBM Cloudant Dedicated Cluster are audited by a third-party security firm and meet ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 requirements. For more information, see the [IBM Cloudant Compliance page](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/compliance) for links to the certificates. The following descriptions on the IBM Cloudant Compliance page cover the IBM Cloudant service and respective certifications:



* IBM Cloud Services (PaaS and SaaS) certified cloud product listing
* IBM Cloud Services (PaaS and SaaS) certificate - ISO 27001
* IBM Cloud Services (PaaS and SaaS) certificate - ISO 27017
* IBM Cloud Services (PaaS and SaaS) certificate - ISO 27018







 PCI 

The following IBM Cloudant plans are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS):



* Multi-tenant Lite.
* Standard.
* Standard plan instances that are deployed on Dedicated Hardware plan environments.



IBM Cloud completes annual PCI DSS assessments by using an approved Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), and the resulting Attestations of Compliance (AOCs) and Service Responsibility Matrix guides are available upon customer request. Auditors reviewed IBM Cloudant for compliance under PCI DSS version 3.2.1 at Service Provider Level 1.

If you intend to store sensitive information in an IBM Cloudant database, you must use client-side encryption to render data unreadable to IBM Cloudant operators. For example, for PCI DSS compliance, you must encrypt the Primary Account Number (PAN) before sending a document that contains it to the database.

Customers are responsible for the storing, processing, and transmission of their cardholder data, and can create cardholder data environments (CDEs) that can store, transmit, or process cardholder data by using IBM Cloudant. Customers can use the IBM Cloud AOCs and SRM guides when they seek their own PCI DSS certifications. It is the responsibility of the customer to document and operate CDEs and applications that are built by using IBM Cloud Platform services in a PCI DSS-compliant manner.
* Size of your control plane infrastructure, either Lite, Standard, or Enterprise with Volume Worker. Lite is designed for testing and proof of concept. Enterprise includes Volume Worker, which is used for distributed identity disk creation with large machine catalogs.







 Step 5 - Dedicated Host Specifics 



 Deployment Strategy 

Select the Dedicated Host deployment strategy for your resources. When you deploy a dedicated host, all resources use the same family as the dedicated host profile family. You have two options:



* Public - Provisions the control plane components (active directory, cloud connectors, and custom image VSI) onto public hosts and the VDAs to the dedicated hosts ordered with Citrix DaaS.
* Dedicated - Provisions the Control Plane components on their own dedicated hosts.
* Shared Dedicated Control Plane - Provisions the control plane and VDAs to the dedicated host.



If 2 dedicated hosts are ordered for one host group in one zone, the default scheduling algorithm for VPC is used. The algorithm spreads the VSIs across the dedicated hosts in the group. The placement is random and you have no control on which hosts the VDAs or control plane are provisioned.





 Dedicated Host profiles 

When you provision virtual server instances and dedicated hosts, the vCPU associated with these resources counts toward the vCPU quotas per region. For more information, see [Quotas and service limits](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-quotasvsi-quotas). If you reach the quota, contact your sales team.



1. Select the number of Dedicated Hosts to deploy per zone. When you use the Dedicated hosts option, use at least 2 dedicated hosts to avoid single point of failure.
2. Select a profile for the Dedicated Hosts. If you are deploying a shared dedicated control plane, the ratio of memory to cpu is locked for all control plane virtual server instances based on the dedicated host profile that you select.









 Step 6 - Images, profiles, and identity volume encryption for Machine Catalog 



1. Indicate whether you want to use a custom image to build the base image for your machine catalog.



* Select the version for the custom image. For Windows images, you can select provider images or custom OS images.

Pay-as-you-go access to IBM Quantum hardware and simulators is provided with the Standard plan. For more information, see [Manage the cost](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/quantum-computing?topic=quantum-computing-cost).





 What is the cost of the Qiskit Runtime Standard plan? 

The Qiskit Runtime Standard plan is a pay-as-you-go service and costs $1.6 per QR second when running on physical systems. For more information, see the [Qiskit Runtime Standard plan](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/quantum-computing?topic=quantum-computing-cost) topic.





 What is the pricing metric of the Qiskit Runtime service? 

For this service, you are charged for Quantum Runtime usage. QR usage is the time counted by QR to process a job, and is determined by the use of internal resources. Queue time is not included. For more information, see the [Qiskit Runtime plans](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/quantum-computing?topic=quantum-computing-plans) topic.





 Can I use Qiskit Runtime with my IBM Cloud® lite account? 

Yes, but with the Lite plan you can access only quantum simulators. To use IBM Quantum systems, you need to upgrade to an IBM pay-as-you-go cloud account and use the Standard plan.





 Do I get a monthly bill and what does it look like for Qiskit Runtime with IBM Cloud®? 

You will receive a monthly invoice that provides details about your resource charges. You can check how much you've spent at any time on the [IBM Cloud Billing and usage page](https://cloud.ibm.com/billing).

You can set up spending notifications to get notified when your account or a particular service reaches a specific spending threshold that you set. For information, see the [IBM Cloud account Type description](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-accounts). IBM Cloud® spending notifications trigger only after cost surpasses the specified limit.
For more information about what is included in a security patch, refer to the [version change log](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-cs_versionscs_versions_available).





 Does the service offer support for bare metal and GPU? 

Certain VPC worker node flavors offer GPU support. For more information, see the [VPC flavors](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-vpc-flavors).

Yes, you can provision your worker node as a single-tenant physical bare metal server. Bare metal servers come with high-performance benefits for workloads such as data, GPU, and AI. Additionally, all the hardware resources are dedicated to your workloads, so you don't have to worry about "noisy neighbors".

For more information about available bare metal flavors and how bare metal is different from virtual machines, see [Physical machines (bare metal)](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-planning_worker_nodesbm).





 What is the smallest size cluster that I can make? 

Your cluster must have at least 1 worker node to run default Kubernetes components. You can't have a cluster with 0 worker nodes, and you can't power off or suspend billing for your worker nodes. Additionally, the type of cluster and the number of worker pools that you have can impact the size of your cluster.



* Single zone clusters: [Create a cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-clusters) with 1 worker node in the default worker pool.
* Multizone clusters: You must [create a cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-clusters) with 1 worker node per zone in the worker pool.
