  9. SOFTWARE INCLUSIONS/RESTRICTIONS FOR YUGABYTEDB ANYWHERE
    1. Inclusions: YugabyteDB, YugabyteDB Anywhere UI, Support Services, One (1) Non-Production Environment CPU Core for each Production Environment CPU Core.
    2. Required Software and Hardware (must be licensed or purchased separately).  In a Production Environment:
      1. Minimum of 3 Nodes each with: (1) CPU: Minimum of 16 vCPUs or 16 logical CPU Cores; (2) Memory: Minimum of 1GB RAM per vCPU or logical CPU core; (3) Disk: Local, Solid State Drive (SSD) storage; (4) Replication Factor (RF) of 3; (5) OS: RedHat (RHEL) 7.x or CentOS 7.x
    3. DEFINITIONS
      1. CPU Core” means a logical or virtual unit of a CPU that can execute computer programs. Yugabyte calculates CPU cores based on the environment in which the Software operates. In a physical (Hyperthread) or virtual (i.e., vCPU) environment Yugabyte recognizes logical cores as a unit of compute for licensing.
      2. Hyperthread” is a technology by which a single physical core is split across two logical cores. In a virtualized or hypervisor (VM) computing environment, a CPU Core may be presented as one or more vCPUs. In a public cloud computing environment, a CPU Core is Hyperthreaded and may be presented as one or more vCPUs (“vCPU” means a unit of virtual processing power configured to a VM). This may be named differently by the public cloud vendors, e.g., Amazon Web Services defines CPU Core as “vCPU”, Microsoft Azure defines CPU Core as “Core” or “vCPU”, Google Cloud Platform defines CPU Core as “Virtual CPU”, and Heroku defines CPU Core as “Compute”. Yugabyte recognizes vCPUs as a unit of compute for licensing. In container environments, including Kubernetes, a CPU core may be presented as one or more vCPUs assigned as CPU limit on the container running mater and tablet container. 1 core is 1024 millicore.
      3. Non-Production Environment” means a test environment, development environment, or other environment not used by end users for business or other operations. All Software used in the Non-Production Environment must be licensed under the appropriate EULA.
