Billable item

Description

Read/write traffic

100 GB × USD 0.045/GB = USD 4.5

Index traffic of log data

400 GB × USD 0.0875/GB = USD 35

Log data storage

10,000 GB × USD 0.002875/GB/day = USD 28.75

Active shards

2 × USD 0.01 = USD 0.02

Note

Setting Shards to 2 means 2 shards are rented per day, or 60 shard-days per month (on a 30-day basis).

1-year subscription plan

Cost saving

Monthly fee

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

Note

For this example, we recommend purchasing two 1,000 CU/month plans and three 20 CU/month plans.

Subscription cost:

(2 × USD 8,520 / 12 months) + (3 × USD 180 / 12 months) = USD 1,465

USD 2,048.1 - USD 1,465 = USD 583.1 per month.

Yearly fee

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

Subscription cost:

(2 × USD 8,520) + (3 × USD 180) = USD 17,580

USD 24,577.2 - USD 17,580 = USD 6,997.2 per year.
