+# CloudBox Concepts
+
+## CloudBox (CB)
+
+Is a unit of compute, fast storage and memory.
+There are unlimited different configurations of cloudboxes.
+
+A configuration of a machine defines the cloudboxes which can be made.
+
+Cloudboxes can be aggregated to make a bigger cloudbox.
+
+The default cloudbox has 
+
+- 4GB memory
+- 2 virtual cores of CPU
+- minimal 50 GB of fast storage (can be more, as to be defined by provider)
+- minimal availability of 1 mbit/s bandwidth at all times
+
+Terms
+
+- The virtual cores are max oversubscribed 4x
+- Min passmark per cloudbox is 500 passmark (CPU benchmark)
+- At least 50 GB storage available, more is better
+
+## CloudHour (CH)
+
+Is like a kwatth unit for electricty, it represents a cloudbox being used for 1h and billed as such.
+
+INCA Hosts (our cloud providers) can price the CloudHour themselves in a chosen currency.
+
+## CloudBox Properties
+
+The service provider (hoster) defines the following properties per cloud box
+
+- cost of 1 CloudHour (use the box for 1h)
+- discounts if used for longer periods & if renter has large amount of TFT in wallet
+- min available storage in GB (min 50)
+- max available storage in GB
+- min passmark, max passmark
+- max bandwidth
+- min bandwidth (min 1 mbit/sec)
+- cost per GB bandwidth
+- cost for additional storage HDD or SSD per GB/month
+  - max additional storage
+- max aggregation size (how many of the cloudboxes can be combined)
+- link to support site if any (find info about hoster and service capabilities)
+- if linked to Hosting Pool (company giving support on the machines)
+- pub ip address possible or not (is option)
+- link to monitoring page (if any)
+- location & type of location
+
+Each cloudbox has unique ID and can be looked at through a portal (or found).
