This topic describes the billable items and billing rules for AnalyticDB for MySQL Data Warehouse Edition.
Elastic mode clusters
Billing components
Fees for elastic mode clusters include the following items:
Billable items
The following tables describe the billing methods and fee calculation formulas for each billable item.
Reserved resources
Reserved resources include basic computing resources and elastic I/O resources.
Billable item | Billing method | Description |
Computing resources | pay-as-you-go subscription | Billing scenarios:
Fee calculation formula:
Fee for basic computing resources = Unit price of basic computing resource specifications × Usage duration
Fee for basic computing resources = Price per node × Number of nodes × Usage duration Note The cluster edition starts at 32-core 128 GB, and each node is defined as 16-core 64 GB. |
Elastic I/O resources (Optional) | pay-as-you-go subscription | Billing scenario: You are charged when you purchase or change elastic I/O resources during a scale-out. For information about billing rules for scale-outs, see Billing for configuration changes. Purchase limits: You can purchase elastic I/O resources only for elastic mode clusters with basic computing resources of 32-core 128 GB or higher. Recommendation: We recommend that you configure the specifications of elastic I/O resources based on the following ratio: Fee calculation formula: Fee for elastic I/O resources = Unit price of an elastic I/O resource × Number of elastic I/O resources × Usage duration |
Elastic resources
Elastic resources are the computing resources used during an elastic scale-out.
Billable item | Billing method | Description |
Elastic computing resources (Optional) | pay-as-you-go | Billing scenario: When your resource scaling plan triggers a scale-out, you are charged for the added elastic resources. This applies when a resource scaling plan of the Default Proportional Scaling for Computing Resources and Elastic I/O Resources type triggers a scale-out. Purchase limits: Kernel version and cluster specifications limit resource scaling. For more information, see Create a resource scaling plan. Fee calculation formula: Fee for elastic computing resources = Price per elastic node × Number of elastic nodes × Usage duration Note Each elastic compute node has 16-core 64 GB of resources. |
Data storage
Billable item | Billing method | Description |
| pay-as-you-go | Billing scenario: You are charged for the storage space that your data occupies while the cluster is running. Fee calculation formula: Data storage fee = Fee for hot data storage + Fee for cold data storage
View usage: You can view your hot and cold data usage on the Cluster Monitoring page of the AnalyticDB for MySQL console. For more information, see View monitoring information for an AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster. |
Backup storage
Billable item | Billing method | Description |
Data backup storage | pay-as-you-go | Billing scenario: After a cluster is created, the backup feature is automatically enabled. The latest data backup set of the cluster is retained free of charge. If a cluster has multiple data backup sets, you are charged for the backup storage used by all data backup sets except for the latest one. Billing unit: GB Fee calculation formula: Fee for data backup storage = Unit price of data backup storage × (Total size of data backup sets - Size of the free data backup set) × Usage duration View usage: You can view the total size of your data backup sets and the size of the free backup set on the Backup and Restoration page of the AnalyticDB for MySQL console. For more information, see Manage backups. |
Reserved mode cluster edition
Billing components
Fees for reserved mode clusters include the following items:
The following table describes the billing rules for each billable item.
Billable item | Billing method | Description |
Compute nodes | pay-as-you-go subscription | Fees are based on the specifications, number of nodes (or node groups), and usage duration. Fee for compute nodes = Unit price × Number of nodes (or node groups) × Usage duration |
Data storage | pay-as-you-go subscription | Fees are based on the specifications, number of nodes (or node groups), storage size, and usage duration. Data storage fee = Unit price × Storage size × Number of nodes (or node groups) × Usage duration |
Backup storage | pay-as-you-go | After a cluster is created, the backup feature is automatically enabled. The latest data backup set of the cluster is retained free of charge. If a cluster has multiple data backup sets, you are charged for the backup storage used by all data backup sets except for the latest one. Fee for data backup storage = Unit price of data backup storage × (Total size of data backup sets - Size of the free data backup set) × Usage duration |
Billing examples
These billing examples are for reference only. Actual fees are based on the prices shown on the purchase page or in the console.
Example 1
You purchase a subscription elastic mode cluster in the China (Hong Kong) region. The cluster has four compute nodes, which provide a total of 64-core 256 GB basic computing resources. The subscription duration is six months.
Total subscription fee = USD 678.25 per node per month × 4 nodes × 6 months = USD 16,278.
Example 2
You purchase a pay-as-you-go elastic mode cluster in the Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) region. The cluster uses two compute nodes that provide a total of 32-core 128 GB basic computing resources. The cluster also uses 1,000 GB of hot data storage and 3,000 GB of cold data storage per hour. The total usage duration is 10 days.
The following table describes the fees.
Billable item | Fee |
Basic computing resources | USD 1.2326 per node per hour × 2 nodes × 24 hours × 10 days = USD 591.648 |
Hot data storage | USD 0.000892 per GB per hour × 1,000 GB × 24 hours × 10 days = USD 214.08 |
Cold data storage | USD 0.000042 per GB per hour × 3,000 GB × 24 hours × 10 days = USD 30.24 |
Total pay-as-you-go fee = USD 591.648 + USD 214.08 + USD 30.24 = USD 835.968.
