  • Hosting
    • Approximate breakdown of monthly costs for setting up the Android Automotive OS emulator project on AWS, from Nick, COVESA'S IT manager.
    • Being reviewed by Paradox Cat (Viktor)
      • EC2 Instance (r5.large):
        Approximately $0.126 per hour; for 24/7 operation, this equates to roughly $91 per month.
      • EBS Storage (500 GB on gp3):
        $0.08 per GB per month, totaling $40 for 500 GB.
      • S3 Storage for Artifacts:
        Assuming 100 GB usage, at $0.023 per GB per month, this would cost about $2.30.
      • Data Transfer Costs:
        AWS provides 1 GB per month of free data transfer out to the internet. Beyond that, prices are approximately $0.09 per GB. The cost will depend on your actual usage.
      • Additional Costs:
        Other potential costs include network usage, snapshots, and any specific AWS services like CloudWatch for monitoring, which starts at $0.30 per metric.
  • Boot animation
    • Richard to follow up with Paul to see what's available
