Warning

Yandex Managed Service for Elasticsearch is unavailable as of April 11, 2024.

You can create an OpenSearch cluster in Yandex Cloud as an alternative to Elasticsearch.

In this section, you can find the Managed Service for Elasticsearch pricing policy and effective prices for its resources.

To calculate the cost of using the service, use the calculator on the Yandex Cloud website or see the pricing in this section.

Prices for service products are also available in the Price list.

Note

Currency of Service rates (prices) depends on the company you made a contract with:

  • Prices in US dollars are applicable to customers of Iron Hive doo Beograd (Serbia) or Direct Cursus Technology L.L.C. (Dubai).
  • Prices in Russian roubles are applicable to customers of Yandex.Cloud LLC.

Cluster statusCluster status

Prices are applied differently depending on the cluster status:

  • For a Running cluster, you pay for both the computing resources and your storage size.
  • For a Stopped cluster, you only pay for your storage size.

Alert

If a cluster uses local SSD storage (local-ssd), its computing resources are not released when it's stopped. This means that you are charged in full even for a stopped cluster.

What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for ElasticsearchWhat goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Elasticsearch

The Managed Service for Elasticsearch usage cost is based on:

  • Elasticsearch edition in use.

  • Computing resources allocated to cluster hosts (including hosts with the Master node role).

  • Disk type and disk space.

  • Egress traffic from Yandex Cloud.

In all calculations: 1 GB = 230 bytes, 1 MB = 220 bytes.

Using cluster hostsUsing cluster hosts

The cost is calculated for each hour of operation of the host in accordance with the allocated computing resources and Elasticsearch edition used. You can find the supported resource configurations in the Host classes section. For vCPU and RAM prices, see Prices.

You can select a host class both for hosts with the Data node role and those with the Master node role.

The minimum billing unit is one minute (for example, 1.5 minutes of host operation cost the same as 2 minutes). You do not pay for the time when the Elasticsearch host is unable to perform its main functions.

Disk space usageDisk space usage

You pay for the following:

  • Storage allocated for clusters.

  • Storage taken up by backups over specified cluster storage.

    • Backups are stored free of charge as long as the combined size of the data in the cluster and all backups is smaller than the selected storage size.

    • When performing automatic backups, Managed Service for Elasticsearch does not create a new copy but saves the data changed from the previous backup. It means the storage space used by automatic backups only increases in proportion to the volume of changes.

    • The number of hosts in a cluster does not affect the storage volume and, consequently, the free volume of backups.

The price covers one month of use based on 720 hours per month. The minimum billing unit is 1 GB per minute (for example, storing 1 GB for 1.5 minutes costs the same as storing 1 GB for 2 minutes).

Example of cluster cost calculationExample of cluster cost calculation

The cost of using a cluster with the following parameters for 30 days:

  • Hosts with the Data node role: Three hosts of the s2.micro class: 2 × 100% vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
  • Hosts with the Master node role: Three hosts of the s2.micro class: 2 × 100% vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
  • Storage: 100 GB of network HDD storage.

The cost is calculated as follows:

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

3 × (2 × ₽1.6800 + 8 × ₽2.1000) + 3 × (2 × ₽1.6800 + 8 × ₽2.1000) = ₽120.9600

Total: ₽120.9600, cost of operation of all hosts per hour.

Where:

  • 3: Number of hosts.
  • 2: Number of vCPUs
  • ₽1.6800: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
  • 8: Amount of RAM per host (in GB).
  • ₽2.1000: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM at 100% vCPU per hour.

720 × ₽120.9600 + 100 × ₽3.2000 = ₽87,411.2000

Total: ₽87,411.2000, cost of using the cluster for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days
  • ₽120.9600: Cost of operation of all hosts per hour.
  • 100: Amount of network HDD storage (in GB)
  • ₽3.2000: Cost of using 1 GB of network HDD storage per month.

3 × (2 × ₸8.4000 + 8 × ₸10.5000) + 3 × (2 × ₸8.4000 + 8 × ₸10.5000) = ₸604.8000

Total: ₸604.8000, cost of operation of all hosts per hour.

Where:

  • 3: Number of hosts.
  • 2: Number of vCPUs
  • ₸8.4000: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
  • 8: Amount of RAM per host (in GB).
  • ₸10.5000: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM at 100% vCPU per hour.

720 × ₸604.8000 + 100 × ₸16.0000 = ₸437,056.0000

Total: ₸437,056.0000, cost of using the cluster for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days
  • ₸604.8000: Cost of operation of all hosts per hour.
  • 100: Amount of network HDD storage (in GB)
  • ₸16.0000: Cost of using 1 GB of network HDD storage per month.
