# Compute

## Introduction

Our suite of compute products lets you create the infrastructure you want, whether you want to build applications by managing your own infrastructure with instances, implement modern container-based methodology with Kubernetes.

### Plans and Pricing <a href="#plans-and-pricing" id="plans-and-pricing"></a>

We offer different kinds of products; you can view all available plans on the [pricing page](https://doc.flow.swiss/platform/pricing/compute).

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;You are still billed for Instances / Kubernetes clusters that are powered off because the compute resources for the Instance stay reserved on the hypervisor, even when they are not in use. To end billing, destroy the instance or Kubernetes cluster.
{% endhint %}

### Bandwidth

Each organisation includes free outbound data transfer: 20000 TB/month. Outbound data transfer is shared between all services each billing cycle. Additional transfer is billed at CHF 90 / 1TB, but most users don't exceed the amount included with their services.

### Regions

Flow Cloud Platform is based in two state of the art data centers in Switzerland: ZRH1 (Zurich), the most modern DC on Swiss soil; and ALP1 (Luzern), located at the edge of the Swiss Alps. With ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI DSS certifications and FINMA-RS 18/3 compliance, we operate only in trustworthy and premium data centers.
