Server costs

fixed infrastructure costs

• 4 core, 8GB ram machines x 1
• AWS cost based on on-demand pricing: USD 110.88 [c5a.xlarge x 1] Cloud providers may have updated pricing

The above cost may vary depending on the region and cloud providers may have updated pricing. Your final bill may vary on customizations and exact specifications. This cost can be reduced significantly with AWS reserved instances and savings plans.

Why do you need auto-scaling servers for video conferencing?

• save cost when there is no use for additional servers
• scale up and down servers to cater to video conferencing user demands

What is the role of the Jitsi Meet, JVB & Jibri servers?

• Provides the front end for the video conferencing system
• Manages the video & audio conferencing data transfer between conference participants.
• Jibri servers allow recording of Jitsi meetings (this is not offered on all scripts)

Why do we set up Jitsi servers as shards

• Shards are logical structures of servers that are deployed within a particular ISP infrastructure service providers region and availability zone
• They contain as necessary, HA Proxy, Jitsi Meet, JVB, (optionally) Jibri servers.
• Within each shard, there may be auto-scaling JVB and (optionally) Jibri servers to support a given number of concurrent users
• The scripts may setup multiple shards as necessary to cater to a given number of maximum concurrent users
