Managed Service for Apache Kafka® pricing policy

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

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

Cluster statusCluster status

Prices are applied differently depending on the cluster status:

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

What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Apache Kafka®What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Apache Kafka®

The Managed Service for Apache Kafka® usage cost includes:

• Disk type and storage size.

• Computing resources allocated to cluster hosts (including ZooKeeper hosts) and the type of hosts.

• Egress traffic from Yandex Cloud.

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

Using cluster hostsUsing cluster hosts

Host operation cost is charged per hour based on what computing resources you allocate for it. You can find the supported resource configurations in the Host classes section. For the vCPU and RAM prices, see Prices.

You can choose the host class for Apache Kafka® broker hosts and ZooKeeper hosts based on the expected replication load. The presence of ZooKeeper hosts depends on the cluster configuration:

• ZooKeeper hosts are added to the cluster if it contains more than one Apache Kafka® host and uses Apache Kafka® 3.5.
• ZooKeeper hosts are not added to the cluster if it contains a broker host or uses Apache Kafka® 3.6 or higher.

There are different ways to calculate the cost depending on the host type:

• Standard hosts

  Host operation cost is charged per hour based on what computing resources you allocate for it.

• Dedicated hosts

  The usage cost includes two components: the cost of Yandex Compute Cloud computing resources and Managed Service for Apache Kafka® markup for using these resources.

The minimum billing unit is one minute (for example, 1.5 minutes of host operation cost the same as 2 minutes). You are not paying for the time when a broker host or ZooKeeper is unable to perform its main functions.

Disk space usageDisk space usage

You pay for the storage allocated for DB clusters.

• You can only order local SSD storage (local-ssd) for clusters with three or more broker hosts:
  • For Intel Cascade Lake: In increments of 100 GB.
  • For Intel Ice Lake: In increments of 368 GB.
• You can only order non-replicated SSD storage (network-ssd-nonreplicated) for clusters with three or more broker hosts in increments of 93 GB.

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:

• Apache Kafka® broker hosts: Three s3-c2-m8 hosts: Intel Ice Lake, 2 × 100% vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
• Storage for Apache Kafka® broker hosts: 100 GB of network HDD storage per broker host.
• ZooKeeper hosts (created automatically): Three b3-c1-m4 hosts: Intel Ice Lake, 2 × 50% vCPU, 4 GB RAM.
• Storage for ZooKeeper hosts: 10 GB of network SSD storage per host.

Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)

You can get a guaranteed discount on service resource usage when you plan for six months or one year ahead. To see the resources you can get a discount on:

1. Go to Yandex Cloud Billing.
2. Click on the desired billing account.
3. Select Committed volume in the left-hand menu.

A CVoS guarantees a discount on consumption but does not guarantee the availability of the resources you order. Read more about CVoS in the Yandex Cloud Billing documentation.

Managed Service for Apache Kafka® provides two types of CVoS: on vCPUs and on RAM for the hosts you are planning to use in your DB clusters. In the management console, you can see how much you can potentially save with CVoS at the current consumption level. You can also forecast your monthly payments for the required number of vCPUs and RAM.
