What goes into the cost of using Object StorageWhat goes into the cost of using Object Storage

The Object Storage usage cost includes:

  • Storage class.
  • Amount of storage used by your data.
  • Number of operations with your data.
  • Amount of outgoing traffic.

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

Standard storage resources are provided free of charge every month:

  • First 1 GB of storage per month
  • First 10,000 PUT, POST, PATCH, and LIST operations
  • First 100,000 GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS operations

After you spend the free amount of services, you will be charged at the applicable rate. The unused balance of free services is reset at the end of the month.

Using the storageUsing the storage

Storage usage is measured in GB per month. The volume of data stored for a month is calculated as the average value based on granulated per-second data. The minimum billing unit is 1 hour of storing 1 MB of data.

Performing operations with dataPerforming operations with data

  • The minimum billing unit for PUT, POST, PATCH, LIST, and TRANSITION operations is 10.
  • The minimum billing unit for GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS operations is 100.

1 The daily cost of data storage service is calculated as Cost_of_1_GB_per_month / number_of_days_in_the_month. For shorter months, the storage cost per day is higher. For longer months, it is lower.

Here is an example of proportional calculation. Let's assume a user stores 15 GB of data for 11.5 hours during a 30-day month. The total cost of storage can be calculated using the formula:

Storage_price = Price_per_GB_per_month × 15 × 12 / 24 / 30

2 The first 1 GB of data in a standard storage per month is free of charge.

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

For example, if the price for storing 1 GB of data in standard storage per month is ₽2.1708, with 23 GB of data stored per month, your monthly data storage cost will be:

(23 − 1) × ₽2.1708 = 22 × ₽2.1708 = ₽47.7576

For example, if the price for storing 1 GB of data in standard storage per month is ₸10.8539, with 23 GB of data stored per month, your monthly data storage cost will be:

(23 − 1) × ₸10.8539 = 22 × ₸10.8539 = ₸238.79

3 The minimum billable storage time of an object in an ice storage is 12 months. If you delete an object that was stored for less than 12 months, you will be charged the remaining cost after deletion.

Calculating cost in KZT

For example, if the price for storing 1 GB of data in ice storage per month is ₽0.5778, and a 3 GB object was in ice storage from January 1 through September 20 (8 months and 20 days), your storage charge will be calculated as follows:

Total from January 1 through September 20
A = 3 × (8 + (20 / 30)) × ₽0.5778 = (3 × 260 / 30) × ₽0.5778 = ₽15.0228
September 20 after deleting the object
B = (3 × 12 × ₽0.5778) − A = ₽20.8008 − ₽15.0228 = ₽5.778
Total
A + B = ₽20.8008

For example, if the price for storing 1 GB of data in ice storage per month is ₸2.8890, and a 3 GB object was in ice storage from January 1 through September 20 (8 months and 20 days), your storage charge will be calculated as follows:

Total from January 1 through September 20
A = 3 × (8 + (20 / 30)) × ₸2.8890 = (3 × 260 / 30) × ₸2.8890 = ₸75.114
September 20 after deleting the object
B = (3 × 12 × ₸2.8890) − A = ₸104.004 − ₸75.114 = ₸28.89
Total
A + B = ₸104.004

Note

You are going to be charged for the GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT operations ending with Error 403 or 404. The cost is calculated based on the standard storage rates.

The first 10,000 PUT, POST, PATCH, and LIST operations and the first 100,000 GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS operations in a standard storage per month are free of charge.

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

For example, if the price per 10,000 GET operations in standard storage per month is ₽0.4212, with 245,000 GET operations per month, your total monthly cost of data operations will be:

((245,000 − 100,000) / 10,000) × ₽0.4212 = (145,000 / 10,000) × ₽0.4212 = ₽6.11

For example, if the price per 10,000 GET operations in standard storage per month is ₸2.1060, with 245,000 GET operations per month, your total monthly cost of data operations will be:

((245,000 − 100,000) / 10,000) × ₸2.1060 = (145,000 / 10,000) × ₸2.1060 = ₸30.54

For example, if the price per 1 GB of outgoing traffic above 100 GB and up to 1 TB per month is ₽1.6524, with 283 GB of outgoing traffic per month, your monthly cost will be:

(283 − 100) × ₽1.6524 = 183 × ₽1.6524 = ₽302.39

For example, if the price per 1 GB of outgoing traffic above 100 GB and up to 1 TB per month is ₸8.2620, with 283 GB of outgoing traffic per month, your monthly cost will be:
