A cloud provider offers a licensing model that charges based on the number of physical or virtual cores in the server processor. Which licensing model does this description refer to?
Core-based licensing refers to the practice where a cloud service provider charges based on the number of physical or virtual processor cores in the server. This model allows pricing to scale with the computing power allocated, which is important for services that have compute-intensive workloads. It is distinct from per-user models, which charge based on the number of users; and from socket-based, which relates to the number of CPU sockets in a server chassis.
