Data transfer costs and machine learning (ML) costs apply separately, the same as provisioned clusters. Snapshot replication and data sharing across AWS Regions are billed at the transfer rates outlined on the pricing page. For more information, see Amazon Redshift pricing ... The metric SnapshotStorage, which tracks snapshot storage usage, is generated and sent to CloudWatch. For more information about CloudWatch, see What is Amazon CloudWatch?

AWS Redshift Serverless - Need help with pricing
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/serverless-billing.html This goes into detail. You are charged for compute and storage. You pay for storage as you'd expect. You're charged for compute only when you queries are running. More on reddit.com

yeah there are some good alternatives to the aws calculator. for automation, tools like recost.io or infracost can help track and optimize your aws costs without always using the web UI. if you want a breakdown of these options, check out this article that compares a bunch of them.

Is Redshift Serverless same as Redshift?
Redshift Serverless is the serverless side of your typical Redshift Instance. For the most part it’s the same excluding costs and instance speed/nodes as serverless manages that aspect differently. We’ve been using it the same way as we use standard instances since preview. If you are only using it every 4 hours for a few seconds/minutes it’s probably more cost effective than a typical instance with auto-shutoff, BUT, without knowing actual times used and workloads required I don’t think I could definitively answer that.

Experiences with Redshift Serverless
We tested it out and during preview it didn’t make sense for our workloads. Performance wasn’t good enough and the fact that you could only have one per account was a major hinderance. Now that the price was lowered and you can have multiple endpoints per account, we’re going to re-evaluate and re-test in the coming months. We have dozens of clusters and I believe once the reservations are up within the next 36 months we’ll switch some of the lesser powered ones over to redshift serverless. More on reddit.com

What’s the difference between Amazon Redshift Serverless pricing and provisioned cluster pricing?

Amazon Redshift Serverless uses a pay-as-you-go model, where you're charged only for the compute capacity you actually use, measured down to the second. This means you only pay when queries are being processed, and there are no costs during idle periods.

On the other hand, provisioned clusters operate on an hourly billing model. Here, you're charged for the resources you allocate - like compute nodes and storage - whether or not they're being fully utilized. While this approach offers cost predictability, it can lead to higher expenses if resources sit idle.

What is the difference between provisioned and serverless pricing?
Provisioned bills by node-hours for your cluster. Serverless bills by RPU-hours with per-second metering after a 60-second minimum. Serverless includes Spectrum and Concurrency Scaling in the RPU price.

r/aws on Reddit: AWS Redshift Serverless - Need help with pricing
October 7, 2022 -

I haven't used any serverless service of AWS and thinking of using Redshift serverless for one of the newest service we are building.

In documentations price is mentioned as below :

Redshift Processing Unit - $0.36 per RPU hour

So does that mean if I have provisioned 8 RPU and on average during that day I used 4 RPU per hour then the daily cost would be : 4 * 0.36 * 24

I just need some clarity around this. Also how much data 1 RPU can handle?
