FAQ
How much does the underlying infrastructure cost?
The cost of your infrastructure varies entirely on the amount of resources you use. By default, clusters provisioned by Porter cost around $200 per month. All of the underlying infrastructure cost can be covered with your cloud credits from AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.What does Porter-provisioned infrastructure consist of?
Infrastructure provisioned by Porter on AWS includes a VPC, a Network Load Balancer, and an EKS cluster. On GCP and Azure, the architecture is identical with equivalent components on each cloud provider (VPC/VNet, Load Balancer, and managed Kubernetes cluster).Default Node Group Configuration
By default, Porter provisions three node groups in your cluster:| Node Group | Purpose | AWS Default | Azure Default | GCP Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| System | Kubernetes system workloads | 2x t3.medium | 2x Standard_B2s | 2x e2-medium |
| Monitoring | Observability stack (metrics, logs) | 1x t3.large | 1x Standard_B2ms | 1x e2-standard-2 |
| Application | Your application workloads | 1x t3.medium (autoscales) | 1x Standard_B2s (autoscales) | 1x e2-medium (autoscales) |
- Initial size: 1 node
- Autoscaling: Enabled by default
- Maximum nodes: Scales based on workload demand and configured limits
- Minimum nodes: 1 node to ensure availability
You can customize machine types, node counts, and disk sizes after initial provisioning through the Infrastructure tab in the Porter dashboard.
