Object Storage pricing policy from January 1 to March 1, 2019
This is an old version of the policy, valid between January 1 and March 1, 2019. For the current Object Storage pricing policy, see Object Storage pricing policy.
What goes into the cost of using Object Storage
The Object Storage usage cost is based on:
- Amount of storage used by your data.
- Number of operations with your data.
- Amount of outgoing traffic.
Users can access:
- Cold storage: A low price for data storage and a high price for operations. It's optimal for storing a large volume of data and a small number of operations.
- Standard storage: A high rate for data storage and a low rate for operations. It's optimal for storing small amounts of data and performing a large number of operations.
In all calculations, 1 GB = 230 bytes.
Using storage
Storage usage is measured in GB per month. The volume of data stored during a month is taken as the month's average based on granulated per-second data. The minimum billing unit is 1 hour of storing 1 MB of data.
Performing operations with data
Data operations are billed according to the following policy:
- The minimum billing unit for PUT and POST operations is 10.
- The minimum billing unit for GET and HEAD operations is 100.
- You are not charged for deleting data (DELETE operation).
Pricing
Data storage
Monthly prices are provided for a 30-day month. The price is higher for shorter months and lower for longer months.
| Service | Cost of 1 GB per month, without VAT | Cost of 1 GB per month, including VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Standard storage | ₽1.0508 | ₽1.2610 |
| Cold storage | ₽0.5593 | ₽0.6712 |
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_cost = Cost_per_GB_per_month * 15 * 11.5 / 24 / 30
Data operations
| Service | Cost, rubles without VAT | Cost, rubles with VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Standard storage | ||
| 1,000 PUT or POST operations | ₽0.2542 | ₽0.3051 |
| 10,000 GET or HEAD operations | ₽0.2034 | ₽0.2441 |
| Cold storage | ||
| 1,000 PUT or POST operations | ₽0.6186 | ₽0.7424 |
| 10,000 GET or HEAD operations | ₽0.5085 | ₽0.6102 |
Note
Data operations that result in an error are charged only in the following cases:
- Error code 403 for a GET or HEAD operation.
- Error code 404 for a PUT, POST, GET, or HEAD operation.
The cost is calculated based on standard storage rates.
Outgoing traffic
When using the service, you pay for the traffic from the Yandex Cloud to the internet. The traffic between Yandex Cloud services and the incoming traffic from the internet are free of charge.
The minimum charging unit is 1 MB. The price of a gigabyte of traffic changes depending on the amount of egress traffic in a given month.
