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

Tip

For cost estimation, use this calculator on our website or check out the pricing below.

The 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.

All prices below do not include VAT.

Cluster statusCluster status

The prices apply 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.

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 OpenSearchWhat goes into the cost of using Managed Service for OpenSearch

The Managed Service for OpenSearch usage cost includes:

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

  • Disk type and disk space.

  • Egress traffic from Yandex Cloud to the internet.

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

Using cluster hostsUsing cluster hosts

The host operation cost depends on what 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 select a host class both for hosts with the DATA role and hosts with the MANAGER and DASHBOARDS roles.

The host operation cost is charged per hour. The minimum billing unit is one minute, e.g., 1.5 minutes of host operation cost the same as two minutes. You will not be charged for the time when the OpenSearch host is unavailable for basic operations.

Disk space usageDisk space usage

You pay for the following:

  • Storage allocated for clusters.

  • Storage taken up by backups over the specified cluster storage.

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

    • All automatic and manual backups are incremental. This means the initial backup contains all index segments, and all subsequent backups contain only the increment, i.e., changes made since the previous backup. This saves storage space and reduces the cost of using resources.

    • When requesting information about a backup, you will get the full size of restorable data, but you only pay for the incremental part.

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

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

Example of cluster cost calculationExample of cluster cost calculation

Let's calculate the cost of using a cluster with the following properties for 30 days:

  • OpenSearch hosts: Three s3-c2-m8 hosts, Intel Ice Lake, 2 × 100% vCPU, 8 GB RAM.
  • Storage: 100 GB of network HDD storage.

Cost calculation for OpenSearch hosts:

3 × (2 × $0.0151 + 8 × $0.0063) = $0.24

Total: $0.24, cost of operation of OpenSearch hosts per hour.

Where:

  • 3: Number of OpenSearch hosts.
  • 2: Number of vCPUs.
  • $0.0151: Cost of using 100% vCPU per hour.
  • 8: Amount of RAM per OpenSearch host (in GB).
  • $0.0063: Cost of using 1 GB of RAM at 100% vCPU per hour.

Calculation for the storage cost and total cost:

720 × $0.24 + 3 × (100 × $0.0288) = $182.74

Total: $182.74, cost of using the cluster for 30 days.

Where:

  • 720: Number of hours in 30 days.
  • $0.24, cost of operation of OpenSearch hosts per hour.
  • 3: Number of OpenSearch hosts.
  • 100: Amount of network HDD storage (in GB).
  • $0.0288: Cost of using 1 GB of network HDD storage per month.

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

You can get a guaranteed discount on service resource usage when you plan for 6 or 12 months ahead. To view the resources eligible for this discount:

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

A CVoS guarantees a discount on usage, but does not guarantee the availability of the resources you order. You can read more about CVoS in the relevant Yandex Cloud Billing article.

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

Note

A CVoS discount is only available for certain resource types. For unsupported resource types, the relevant CVoS columns under Prices are blank. Currently, you cannot order storage or web traffic this way.
