Hello Jon,
sorry to hassle you again. Her is an example: An app gets a 5 minute traffic spike at the start of each hour, leading to four instances being active the entire five minutes. Then, the app gets no more traffic for the rest of the hour. max-idle-instances is set to 1. That's basically the scenario described in (1) http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/msg/db996f64d427d66c but with traffic each hour instead of once a day. >From (1), I would estimate the billed minutes to be 35 * 24 = 840 (14 hours), so the app would be within free quota. Looking at (2), I come up with 32 hours: (a) 4 instances are active 5 minutes every hour. (b) That is 5*60*4*24 = 28,800 active seconds for the day. (c) active-instances-rate is = 28,800/60*60*24 = 0.3333 (d) total-instances-rate = 20*60*4*24/60*60*24 = 1.3333 (total instances should be 4 for the 5 minutes spikes + 15 minutes after the spikes) (e) billable-instances-rate = min(active-instances-rate + max-idle-instances, total-instances-rate) = min(0.3333 + 1, 1.3333) = 1.3333 (32 hours) Which of the solutions is right, and what have I done wrong at the other?
