Difference means target minus origin; a positive difference means the target costs more. | Processed load-balancer GiB per month (GiB/month) | Network Load Balancer | Target scenario | Scaleway Load Balancer | Difference | | -: | -: | - | -: | -: | | 0 | 16.425 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | 2.388195 | | 100 | 17.025 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | 1.788195 | | 1000 | 22.425 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | -3.611805 | | 10000 | 76.425 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | -57.611805 | | 100000 | 616.425 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | -597.611805 | | 1000000 | 6016.425 | Scaleway Load Balancer | 18.813195 | -5997.611805 | **Curve assumptions** | Target scenario | Assumption | Value | Unit | | - | - | -: | - | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Origin list price · Allocated load-balancer hours | 0.0225 | USD/load-balancer-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Origin list price · Load-balancer processed bytes | 0.006 | USD/GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · read | 0 | USD/read | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · write | 0 | USD/write | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · provider operation | 0 | USD/provider operation | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · GiB-month | 0 | USD/GiB-month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · published GiB | 0 | USD/published GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · delivered GiB | 0 | USD/delivered GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target list price · network GiB | 0 | USD/network GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · replica GiB-month | 0 | USD/replica GiB-month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · vCPU-hour | 0 | USD/vCPU-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · GiB-hour | 0 | USD/GiB-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target list price · resource-hour | 0.0257715 | USD/resource-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · resource-month | 0 | USD/resource-month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · input token | 0 | USD/input token | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target price guess · output token | 0 | USD/output token | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Target monthly base charge | 0 | USD/month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Approximate target service minimum | 0 | USD/month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Minimum primary CPU | 2 | vCPU | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Minimum primary RAM | 8 | GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Minimum primary disk | 100 | GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Additional full-price standby copy | 0 | 0 or 1 | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Allocated share of provisioned cost | 1 | fraction | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Read/write work per vCPU-second | 1500 | operations/vCPU-second | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Planning peak / mean work | 2 | multiplier | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Planning primary CPU utilization | 0.7 | fraction | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Resident state reserved in RAM | 0.1 | fraction | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Planning disk utilization | 0.8 | fraction | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Maintenance and log disk reserve | 20 | GiB | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Staging database CPU unit-price guess | 0.0413 | USD/vCPU-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Staging database RAM unit-price guess | 0.007 | USD/GiB-hour | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Staging database disk unit-price guess | 0.17 | USD/GiB-month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Dependent object sink storage price guess | 0.023 | USD/GiB-month | | Scaleway Load Balancer | Dependent object sink write price guess | 0.000005 | USD/write | * Only this native meter varies; all other source usage and translation assumptions retain the displayed defaults.

Other native meters retain their explicitly displayed default quantities. * Planning estimate · editable authored rates and sizing assumptions dated 2026-10-22; not verified provider prices. us-east-1 → fr-par, USD/month. * Source prices are reference charges, not an invoice. Target lines cover selected service usage/configuration only; adapter hosting and Tensor9 fees are excluded. * Explicit tariff samples are not performance measurements or capacity qualification. No interpolation or break-even guarantee is implied. * Variant assumptions show the first axis sample; any axis-dependent configuration is described by this curve's workload note. * Rates are cited provider list prices, editable for discounts, commitments or another region. Workload translation and capacity coefficients remain editable planning assumptions, not benchmark measurements or a commercial quote. * Default-zero rates are explicit assumptions, not evidence that the deployed service or resource is free. * Provisioned-unit minimums use an editable approximate allocation floor. Modeled target service cost is max(usage/allocation, minimum), with billable network, durable staging and dependent sinks added separately; actual RU/TU sizing, scaling increments and throughput remain unqualified. * Durable staging is priced once: provisioned targets include adapter state in their selected allocation; native targets add a separate staging allocation when required. Adapter hosting is a separate allocation and must exclude resources already priced as staging, workers or target capacity. * A declared adapter mapping and cost model do not establish implementation availability or service equivalence. * This is a declared directed mapping; a planning estimate does not establish deployment or request-serving support. * Native/deployment comparison scope: This mapping configures native networking. Application packets pass through the target network or load balancer, not the adapter fabric, and this directed mapping does not expose an origin-cloud network-management endpoint. The target provider's networking terms apply. * Origin unit prices are cited provider list prices; capacity coefficients and translation assumptions are editable authored planning guesses, not measured capacity or a provider quote. * This is an explicit data-plane workload comparison; the ELB management adapter alone cannot measure traffic. * The selected per-GiB rate is a traffic-dominated ALB/NLB capacity assumption and does not reproduce multi-dimensional AWS LCU/NLCU billing. * Load-balancer hours and processed GiB are billed as listed; connection, rule and capacity-unit dimensions beyond the base allocation need separate qualification. LB-S (200 Mbps) traffic is unlimited with no per-GB charge. * AWS Price List API, AWSELB offer: [https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AWSELB/current/us-east-1/index.json](https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AWSELB/current/us-east-1/index.json) * Scaleway Network pricing: [https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/network/](https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/network/) Cost scope: Modeled target native service and explicitly modeled state allocation; hosting and Tensor9 fees only when supplied.
