Hi @Sergio Sánchez González
Cost is indeed based on the minutes used.
The cost for 1x and 8x will be the same only if a pipeline runs eight times faster on a 8x instance, which is not always the case.
If you pipeline is 50% faster on an 8x instead, the total cost will be 4x.
Eg:
- A pipeline take 14 minutes on a 1x instance. You will be charged for 14 minutes.
- The same pipeline takes 7 minutes (50% faster) on a 8x instance. You will be charged 7 * 8 = 56 minutes (so, four times the cost of 14 minutes).
When building applications, having more CPU isn't necessarily better because some compilers or unit-test frameworks can't make the most of N CPUs.
I suggest you experiment with sizing to see what fits your pipeline the best. Perhaps the best cost/time ratio will be a 2x for a pipeline and 4x for another (also keep in mind that 2x will be migrated to the new architecture sometime in August)
