* Run tests before releasing a new version of your application to validate compatibility with supported Kubernetes distributions
7-
* Get access to a cluster to develop on and quickly test changes
5+
* Get access to a cluster or VM to develop on and quickly test changes

## Supported Clusters and VMs
1514

16-
<SupportedClusters/>
15+
Compatibility Matrix can create VMs, VM-based clusters (such as kind, k3s, RKE2, and Red Hat OpenShift OKD), and cloud-managed clusters (such as EKS, GKE and AKS):
1716

18-
### Billing and Credits
17+
* Cloud-based Kubernetes distributions are run in a Replicated managed and controlled cloud account to optimize and deliver a clusters quickly and reliably. The Replicated account has control planes ready and adds a node group when you request it, making the cluster available much faster than if you try to create your own cluster with your own cloud account.
1918

20-
Clusters created with Compatibility Matrix are billed by the minute. Per-minute billing begins when the cluster reaches a `running` status and ends when the cluster is deleted. Compatibility Matrix marks a cluster as `running` when a working kubeconfig for the cluster is accessible.
19+
* VMs and VM-based clusters run on Replicated bare metal servers located in several data centers, including data centers physically in the European Union.
2120

22-
You are billed only for the time that the cluster is in a `running` status. You are _not_ billed for the time that it takes Compatibility Matrix to create and tear down clusters, including when the cluster is in an `assigned` status.
21+
You can run [`replicated cluster versions`](/reference/replicated-cli-cluster-versions) or [`replicated vm versions`](/reference/replicated-cli-vm-versions) for an up-to-date list of the available cluster distributions or VM types.

To create clusters with Compatibility Matrix, you must have credits in your Vendor Portal account.

If you have a contract, you can purchase credits by logging in to the Vendor Portal and going to [**Compatibility Matrix > Buy additional credits**](https://vendor.replicated.com/compatibility-matrix).

### Quotas and Capacity

For more information about supported VMs, see [Supported VM Types](/vendor/testing-vm-create#supported-vm-types.)
3126

32-
By default, Compatibility Matrix sets quotas for the capacity that can be used concurrently by each vendor portal team. These quotas are designed to ensure that Replicated maintains a minimum amount of capacity for provisioning both VM and cloud-based clusters.
27+
## Billing and Credits
3328

34-
By default, the quota for cloud-based cluster distributions (AKS, GKE, EKS) is three clusters running concurrently.
29+
Clusters and VMs created with Compatibility Matrix are billed by the minute, plus a startup charge. Per-minute billing begins when a `running` status is reached and ends when the cluster or VM is deleted.
3530

36-
VM-based cluster distributions (such as kind, OpenShift, and Replicated Embedded Cluster) have the following default quotas:
37-
* 32 vCPUs
38-
* 128 GiB memory
39-
* 800 GiB disk size

Clusters created with Compatibility Matrix can have the following statuses:
39+
The following describes the possible statuses of clusters or VMs created with Compatibility Matrix:
5040

51-
* `assigned`: The cluster resources were requested and Compatibility Matrix is provisioning the cluster. You are not billed for the time that a cluster spends in the `assigned` status.
41+
* `assigned`/`queued`: The resources were requested and Compatibility Matrix is provisioning the environment. You are not billed for the time that a cluster or VM spends in the `assigned` status.
5242

53-
* `running`: A working kubeconfig for the cluster is accessible. Billing begins when the cluster reaches a `running` status.
43+
* `running`: For clusters, a working kubeconfig for the cluster is accessible. For VMs, an SSH endpoint is available. Billing begins when a `running` status is reached.
5444

5545
Additionally, clusters are verified prior to transitioning to a `running` status. Verification includes checking that the cluster is healthy and running with the correct number of nodes, as well as passing [sonobuoy](https://sonobuoy.io/) tests in `--quick` mode.
5646

57-
* `terminated`: The cluster is deleted. Billing ends when the cluster status is changed from `running` to `terminated`.
58-
59-
* `error`: An error occured when attempting to provision the cluster.
60-
61-
You can view the status of clusters using the `replicated cluster ls` command. For more information, see [cluster ls](/reference/replicated-cli-cluster-ls).

### Cluster Add-ons
64-
65-
The Replicated Compatibility Matrix enables you to extend your cluster with add-ons, to make use of by your application, such as an AWS S3 object store.
66-
This allows you to more easily provision dependencies required by your application.

## Pricing Overview

7-
Compatibility Matrix usage-based pricing includes a $0.50 per cluster startup cost, plus by the minute pricing based on instance size and count (starting at the time the cluster state changed to "running" and ending when the cluster is either expired (TTL) or removed). Minutes will be rounded up, so there will be a minimum charge of $0.50 plus 1 minute for all running clusters. Each cluster's cost will be rounded up to the nearest cent and subtracted from the available credits in the team account.

## Quotas and Capacity
26+
27+
By default, Compatibility Matrix sets quotas for the capacity that can be used concurrently by each Vendor Portal team. These quotas are designed to ensure that Replicated maintains a minimum amount of capacity for provisioning both VM and cloud-based clusters.
28+
29+
By default, the quota for cloud-based cluster distributions (AKS, GKE, EKS) is three clusters running concurrently.
30+
31+
VMs and VM-based cluster distributions (such as kind, OpenShift, and Replicated Embedded Cluster) have the following default quotas:
32+
* 32 vCPUs
33+
* 128 GiB memory
34+
* 800 GiB disk size
35+
36+
You can request increased quotas at any time with no additional cost. To view your team's current quota and capacity usage, or to request a quota increase, go to [**Compatibility Matrix > Settings**](https://vendor.replicated.com/compatibility-matrix/settings) in the Vendor Portal:
