- Definition
- NDB per VM: "License all vCPUs of virtual machines (VM) managed by NDB, buy core licenses only for the virtual cores assigned to the VM. Requires NCI to be licensed separately." NKP: licensed on "the number of vCPUs in your deployment if running on VMs (including in the public cloud)". (Software Options.)
- Counting rules
- NDB per-VM mode counts all vCPUs of NDB-managed VMs; NKP on VMs counts worker-node vCPUs; "Control plane nodes do not require licenses." NDB licensing "can be split across the two modes as needed and also switched from one mode to another at any time."
