The storage is used to store cluster data files, index files, log files, and temporary files. Log files include online logs and archived logs. This topic describes the billing and pricing for storage resources.
Pay-as-you-go
A serverless architecture is used for storage. Therefore, you do not need to specify the storage capacity when you purchase clusters. The storage capacity is automatically increased when the amount of data increases. You are charged for only the storage that you use. On the Overview page of the cluster, you can view Database Storage Usage. For more information, see View the database storage usage.
- Mainland China: USD 0.00077/GB/hour.
- China (Hong Kong) and regions outside China: USD 0.00085/GB/hour.
Storage plans
If you need to store a large amount of data, such as 1,000 GB or more, storage plans are more cost-effective than the pay-as-you-go billing method. Higher discounts are offered for the storage plans that provide larger storage capacities. For more information, see Purchase a storage plan.
- Deduct the fees of the storage at a ratio of 1:1. In this case, every 1 GB of the storage plan can deduct 1 GB of storage.
- Deduct the fees of the storage that exceeds the free quota for level-1 backups at a ratio of 1:1.6. In this case, every 1 GB of the storage plan can deduct 1.6 GB of the storage for level-1 backups.
