Snapshot storage space

GaussDB(DWS) provides some free-of-charge storage space for you to store the snapshot data. However, if you use more space than the free-of-charge storage space, the exceeded part is charged according to OBS billing rules. For details, see the OBS pricing details.

The free-of-charge space is the same as the size of the total storage space of your cluster. (Free-of-charge space = Storage space of a single node x Number of nodes)

Pay-per-use

Storage unit price x Storage capacity x Billing duration

Standard data warehouse storage

You can customize the storage type and capacity used by the cluster. The storage resources are charged separately. To learn more, see the GaussDB(DWS) pricing details.

Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use

Hot data storage capacity unit price x Hot data storage capacity x Number of nodes x Number of data copies x Billing duration

OBS hot data storage

You can customize the storage type and capacity used by the cluster. The storage resources are charged separately based on the discount packages.

Discount package

Hot data storage capacity (GB) x OBS hot data storage capacity price x Billing duration (hour) x Purchase quantity

Cold storage

OBS is used to store cold data, which is cost-effective. The storage fees of pay-per-use clusters are charged per use.

Pay-per-use

Cold data storage capacity unit price x Cold data storage capacity x Number of nodes x Number of data copies x Billing duration
