Billing Overview

Last updated: 2023-06-12 10:18:30
    The billing of Data Lake Compute consists of two parts: compute resources and storage resources. Compute resources have private and public engines, and storage resources are charged only when the managed storage service of Data Lake Compute is used.

    Billing of Compute Resources

    Performance description

    Data Lake Compute private engines are billed by compute unit (CU). Each CU contains 1 CPU core and 4 GB memory. You can estimate the number of required CUs based on your actual business conditions or submit a ticket for assistance.
    Data Lake Compute public engines are billed by scanned data volume. Public engines are suitable for scenarios with a small amount of data and are recommended.

    Billing modes

    Data Lake Compute supports pay-as-you-go and monthly subscription billing modes as detailed below. For more information, see Postpaid Billing and Prepaid Billing respectively.
    Data Engine Type
    Billing Mode
    Description
    Public engine
    Pay-as-you-go
    Requires no configuration management.
    Incurs no fees when idle and is billed by scanned data volume.
    Works well in temporary computing scenarios with a small amount of data.
    Private engine
    Pay-as-you-go
    Scales private resources elastically as needed.
    Supports suspension when there is no task and incurs no fees when suspended; is billed by CU
    Works well in irregular computing scenarios with a medium amount of data.
    Monthly subscription
    Scales private resources elastically as needed.
    Is billed by CU and becomes available at any time with no need of startup. The elastically scaled resources are pay-as-you-go.
    Works well in stable computing tasks with a large amount of data.

    Pricing

    Public engine

    A public engine is billed by scanned data volume in successful query tasks, with a bill generated every clock-hour. You can view specific bills in the Billing Center. Public engine fees = Scanned data volume * Unit price
    Billable Item
    Price (USD/GB)
    Scanned data volume
    0.0045
    Note
    Fees will be incurred if the query task succeeds or the task is manually canceled but data is scanned. No fees will be incurred when resources are being scheduled or if the query task fails.
    If less than 34 MB of data is scanned for a single SQL task, it will be billed as 34 MB (about 0.00015 USD).
    When you use a public engine, since Data Lake Compute adopts serverless architecture, it needs to schedule compute resources for task execution for the first time over a period of time, which may take a longer time.

    Private engine

    Note
    To purchase a data engine with more than 256 CUs, submit a ticket for assistance, and we will reserve resources for you.

    Pay-as-you-go

    A pay-as-you-go data engine is elastically scalable. When you purchase it, the system will freeze the fees for 1-hour usage of the minimum cluster specification. A bill will be generated every clock-hour. You can view specific bills in the Billing Center.
    Pay-as-you-go private engine fees = Hourly number of used CUs * Unit price
    Note
    In pay-as-you-go billing mode, the engine will keep running at the purchased minimum cluster count. You can suspend the engine when you don't need to use clusters in order to avoid fees.

    Monthly subscription

    In monthly subscription billing mode, the engine will keep running at the purchased minimum cluster count. If elastic scaling is triggered, added cluster resources will be pay-as-you-go. You can view specific bills in the Billing Center. A monthly subscribed engine won't incur pay-as-you-go fees if it is not scaled.
    
    Monthly subscription fees = Cluster specification Minimum cluster count Number of purchase months * Monthly subscription unit price
    Monthly subscription scaling fees = Cluster specification Number of added clusters Pay-as-you-go unit price
    
    Example: If you purchase a monthly subscribed private data engine with a specification of 16 CUs, a minimum cluster count of 2, and a maximum cluster count of 5 for one month, the monthly subscription fees will be 16 2 1 22 = 704 USD, and the engine will run for one month with two 16-CU clusters without incurring additional fees. If the engine is scaled out to five clusters for one hour, then three added 16-CU clusters will incur pay-as-you-go fees of 16 (5 - 2) 1 0.05 = 2.4 USD.

    Billing of Storage Resources

    Data Lake Compute provides the data storage capability. After you enable the native table feature, the native table data is stored under managed storage of Data Lake Compute.
    Managed storage is used to store data including native table data, adaptive shuffle data, query result data, and program packages.

    Billing modes

    Managed storage fees are pay-as-you-go. They consist of storage usage fees and request fees, as detailed below.
    Billable Item
    Description
    Billing Formula
    Storage usage fees
    Calculated based on the storage usage at a unit price that varies by storage class.
    Daily storage usage fees = Monthly storage usage unit price / 30 * Daily storage usage
    Daily storage usage = Sum of "5-minute storage usage" for the day / 288 (number of statistical points)
    Request fees
    Calculated based on the number of requests at a unit price that varies by storage class.
    Request fees = Unit price per 10,000 requests * Daily accumulated number of requests / 10,000

    Example:
    Assume that on November 1, 2020, user A uploaded 10 GB of data to a Data Lake Compute managed storage bucket residing in Hong Kong (China) region in the STANDARD storage class, generating 100 requests. As fees for a day were settled the next day:
    STANDARD storage usage fees: Settled daily starting from November 2, 2020.
    STANDARD request fees: Settled on November 2, 2020.
    An analysis is performed as follows based on the two billing modes:
    STANDARD storage usage fees = 0.022 USD/GB/month / 30 10 GB 30 days = 0.22 USD
    STANDARD request fees = 0.002 USD/10,000 requests * 100 requests / 10,000 = 0.00002 USD
    In summary, the total bill for user A in November is calculated as follows: 0.22 + 0.00002 = 0.22002 USD.
