Billed Item

Description

Billing Mode

Formula

*DB instance

Billed by instance specifications, including vCPUs and memory. Computing and storage capabilities vary by the number of vCPUs and memory size.

Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use

Unit price of a single node x Required duration x Number of billed nodes

The unit price of a single node varies depending on the instance specifications. For details, see section "Specification Price" on GaussDB Pricing Details.

NOTE:

Number of billed nodes = Number of coordinator nodes (CNs) + Number of data nodes (DNs)

  • Independent deployment: If you retain the default configurations for an instance, including three shards (each containing three replicas, namely, three DNs) and three CNs, there will be a total of nice DNs in the instance, and the number of billed nodes is 12 (3 CNs + 9 DNs).
  • HA (1 primary + 2 standby): There are three DNs in an instance, and the number of billed nodes is 3.

*Storage space

Billed by storage type and capacity based on unified standards.

Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use

Unit price of the storage space x Required duration x Storage capacity (GB)

For details about the unit price of the storage space, see section "Storage Space Price" on GaussDB Pricing Details.

Backup space

Billed based on unified standards.

Pay-per-use

Unit price of the backup space x Billed duration x (Backup capacity – Storage capacity) (GB)

For details about the unit price of the backup space, see section "Backup Storage Price" on GaussDB Pricing Details.

NOTE:
  • The billed duration refers to the length of time the billed backup space was used for.

EIP bandwidth

An EIP is required if a DB instance needs to access the Internet.

Billed by bandwidth, traffic, and the EIP reservation price.

  • EIP for a yearly/monthly DB instance: billed by bandwidth.
  • EIP for a pay-per-use DB instance: billed by bandwidth, traffic, or shared bandwidth. You are also charged for IP reservation if you do not bind the EIP to any instance.

Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use

You can purchase a bandwidth add-on package or a shared traffic package.

Tiered pricing based on fixed bandwidth

  • 0 Mbit/s to 5 Mbit/s (included): billed at a fixed unit price per Mbit/s
  • Greater than 5 Mbit/s: billed at a different price per Mbit/s

For details about the unit price, see section "Bandwidth Price" on ECS Pricing Details, or see EIP Pricing Details.
