summarize price offering on OTC in regard to resources used for EOTDL dataset/model hosting and delivery

[achtsnits]

relevant costs for EOTDL dataset/model hosting and delivery (free + premium):

• Base Load: machines for EOTDL API + supporting services.
• Free Tier: fixed machine pool for free users.
• Premium Tier: autoscaling pool (larger/GPU-enabled) for premium users.
• NFS Storage: elastic storage for user home filesystems.
• Object Storage:
  • For large datasets/models: storage costs for data; no network cost if staged to workspace hub, but network egress applies for user downloads.
  • For cached extracted datasets/models: storage costs only, mounted on workspace hub (no network costs).

differences in regard to pricing and included quotas between OTC eu_nl (CDSE scientific prices) and OTC eu_de (regular)

Network -100% applies to direct S3 access as well as outbound traffic from machines, so there is (should be) no egress costs! Note: https://documentation.dataspace.copernicus.eu/Quotas.html (eu_nl!) specifies a monthly transfer limit for direct S3 access (throttled but not charged beyond limit), seems that that applies to outbound traffic from machines as well (on EOTDL datasets/models are accessed via EOTDL API and not direct S3!)
