Billable items and billing rules

The following table describes how the fees for each billable item are calculated in Enterprise Edition and Basic Edition clusters.

Category

Billable item

Billing method

Description

Reserved resource fee

Reserved resources

Pay-as-you-go

Subscription

Note

ACU-hour plans can be used to offset the reserved resources of pay-as-you-go clusters. For more information, see ACU-hour plans.

Billing scope:

  • You are billed for reserved resources when you create a cluster.

  • You are billed for changed reserved resources when you scale up a cluster.

Billing unit:

The resources are bundled into units and sold as ACUs. Each ACU of reserved resources is approximately equal to 1 core and 8 GB memory.

Fee calculation:

Reserved resource fee = Unit price per ACU × Single-node specifications of reserved resources × Number of reserved resource nodes × Usage duration

Elastic resource fee

ACU elastic resources

Pay-as-you-go

Note

Only ACU-hour plans can be used to offset ACU elastic resources. For more information, see ACU-hour plans.

Billing scope:

  • Scheduled scaling: When you use a scaling plan to scale resources, you are billed for the consumed elastic resources after the scaling is executed.

  • Auto scaling:

    • When you use an interactive resource group that has the multi-cluster feature enabled to run jobs, you are billed for the compute cluster resources consumed in addition to reserved resources.

    • When you use a job resource group to run jobs, you are billed for the elastic resources consumed in addition to reserved resources.

Billing unit:

The resources are bundled into units and sold as ACUs. Each ACU of elastic resources is approximately equal to 1 core and 4 GB memory.

Fee calculation:

Elastic resource fee = Unit price of ACU elastic resources × Amount of used ACU elastic resources × Usage duration

Viewing information:

You can log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console and go to the Resource Management page to view the amount of used elastic resources. For more information, see View monitoring information about resource groups.

Spot instance resources

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you enable the spot instance feature for a job resource group, Spark jobs that use the resource group will use idle Spark Executor resources in the AnalyticDB for MySQL resource pool. The price of spot instance resources is lower than the price of ACU elastic resources.

Important

Spot instance resources can be used for on-demand scaling scenarios, but not scheduled scaling scenarios.

Billing unit:

The resources are bundled into units and sold as ACUs. Each ACU of elastic resources is approximately equal to 1 core and 4 GB memory.

Fee calculation:

Spot instance resource fee = Unit price of spot instance resources × Number of ACUs × Usage duration

Viewing information:

You can log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console and go to the Resource Management page to view the amount of used spot instance resources. For more information, see View the computing resource usage of resource groups.

Remote build data

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you enable the compaction service, you are billed for the data that is remotely built by the XUANWU_V2 engine in the independent resource pool of the compaction service.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

Remote BUILD data fee = Unit price of remote BUILD data × Amount of remote BUILD data

Data storage fee

  • Hot data storage

  • Cold data storage

Pay-as-you-go

Note

Storage plans can be used to offset the costs of storage. For more information, see Storage plans.

Billing scope:

You are billed for data storage based on the actual storage space occupied.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

Data storage fee = Hot data storage fee + Cold data storage fee

  • Hot data storage fee of Enterprise Edition = Unit price of hot data storage × Data volume × Usage duration × 2

    Note

    Enterprise Edition uses a multi-replica storage architecture. This way, the hot data storage fee must be multiplied by 2.

  • Hot data storage fee of Basic Edition = Unit price of hot data storage × Data volume × Usage duration

  • Cold data storage fee = Unit price of cold data storage × Data volume × Usage duration

Viewing information:

You can log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console and go to the Monitoring Information page to view the amount of cold data and hot data. For more information, see View monitoring information of AnalyticDB for MySQL.

ADB lake storage - Standard

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you enable the lake storage feature, you are billed for the lake storage space occupied by the data stored in the cluster.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

ADB lake storage fee = Unit price of ADB lake storage × Data storage amount × Usage duration

Viewing information:

You can log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console and go to the Lake Storage page to view the amount of lake storage data.

Cache storage fee

Disk cache size

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you enable the disk cache feature, cloud disks are used to cache the data of XUANWU_V2 engine tables from OSS to ESSD cloud disks. You are billed for the disk cache size that you specify when you enable the disk cache feature.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

Disk cache fee = Unit price of disk cache × Disk cache size × Usage duration

Lake storage query acceleration

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you enable the lake cache feature and specify the cache size, OSS objects that are frequently accessed are cached in the cache space. You are billed for the cache size that you specify when you enable the lake cache feature.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

Lake cache storage fee = Unit price of lake cache storage × Lake cache size × Usage duration

Backup storage fee

Data backup storage

Pay-as-you-go

Billing scope:

After you create an AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster, the data backup feature is automatically enabled for the cluster. The most recent data backup set of the cluster is retained free of charge. If a cluster contains multiple data backup sets, you are charged for the data backup sets other than the most recent one based on the pay-as-you-go billing method.

Billing unit:

The billing unit is GB.

Fee calculation:

Data backup storage fee = Unit price of data backup storage × (Total backup set size - Free backup set size) × Usage duration

Viewing information:

You can log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console and go to the Backup and Restoration page to view the total backup set size and the free backup set size. For more information, see View backup sets.
