**Table 1** GaussDB(DWS) billing items
Billing Item	Description	Billing Mode	Formula
Data warehouse node	Pay for the node flavor you choose. To learn more, see the GaussDB(DWS) pricing details. For details about the preceding billing modes, see Billing Modes.	Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use	Unit price of a node x Billing duration
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 a cluster (storage space of a single node x number of nodes).	Pay-per-use	Storage unit price x Storage capacity x Billing duration
Disk 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. NOTE: It is the hot storage (including cache) displayed on the cluster details page after a cluster is created, different from OBS storage.	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
Cold 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	Cold data storage capacity (GB) x cold 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

You are not billed for the traffic generated by the GaussDB(DWS) cluster on the Huawei Cloud internal network.	Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use	Tiered billing based on the 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
(Optional) Elastic load balance (ELB)	Fees are charged based on the actual usage duration. For details, see Elastic Load Balance Pricing Details: LCU fee: You are charged based on the number of loadbalancer capacity units (LCUs) used by a dedicated load balancer per hour. Instance fee: You are charged for the duration that each dedicated load balancer is running. If the load balancer is used for less than 1 hour, you will be charged for the actual duration, accurate to seconds.	Pay-per-use	Fees are charged based on the actual usage duration.
