Resource plan

A customer uses two shards to read data from and write data to Simple Log Service each day. The read and write traffic is 100 GB per day, the index traffic is 400 GB per day, and the storage usage of log data is 10,000 GB per day. The following tables describe the billing details.

Billable item

Description

Read and write traffic

100 GB × USD 0.045/GB = USD 4.5

Index traffic of log data

400 GB × USD 0.0875/GB = USD 35

Storage space occupied by log data

10000 GB × USD 0.002875 per GB-day = USD 28.75

Active shards

2 shards × USD 0.01 = USD 0.02

Note

If you set the Shards parameter to 2 when you create a Logstore, two shards are used each day. If a calendar month comprises 30 days, the monthly usage is 60 shard days.

Note

The actual prices of resource plans in the Simple Log Service console shall prevail.

Cost saving

Monthly fee

Monthly fee = (USD 4.5 + USD 35 + USD 28.75 + USD 0.02) × 30 days = USD 2,048.1

You can purchase five 1-year subscription resource plans: two with 1,000 CUs per month and three with 20 CUs per month. The monthly fee is calculated by using the following formula:

Monthly fee = 2 × USD 8,520/12 months + 3 × USD 180/12 months = USD 1,465

If you purchase 1-year subscription resource plans, you can reduce costs by USD 583.1 per month. Formula: USD 2,048.1 - USD 1,465 = USD 583.1.

Yearly fee

Yearly fee = (USD 4.5 + USD 35 + USD 28.75 + USD 0.02) × 30 days × 12 months = USD 24,577.2

You can purchase five 1-year subscription resource plans: two with 1,000 CUs per month and three with 20 CUs per month. The yearly fee is calculated by using the following formula:

Yearly fee = 2 × USD 8,520 + 3 × USD 180 = USD 17,580

If you purchase 1-year subscription resource plans, you can reduce costs by USD 6,997.2 per year. Formula: USD 24,577.2 - USD 17,580 = USD 6,997.2.
