What this is. A database infrastructure price estimator - not a full TCO calculator. It models the cost difference between managed MySQL and the same workload self-managed with Percona Distribution for MySQL, on your own cloud VMs or on Kubernetes with the Percona Operator for MySQL. "The same estate" here means matched vCPU, storage and backup volumes; it does not assert that one managed instance equals one self-managed VM or pod, nor validate equivalent HA, storage performance, or operational responsibility. Storage and backup GB are editable per instance. Not included: provisioned IOPS, throughput, binlog volume and storage architecture, data transfer, operational labour, monitoring, and commitment discounts. When support is on, Percona Expert Support is priced once (the cheaper of the per-server and total-vCPU models) and added to the self-managed side; managed-provider support is extra and not counted. Families: RDS = M5, Aurora = R5, Cloud SQL = N2, Azure = DCadsv6.
