Pricing policy for Object Storage before January 1, 2019
What goes into the cost of using Object Storage
The cost of Object Storage usage is based on:
- The amount of storage used by your data.
- The number of operations on your data.
- The amount of outgoing traffic.
Users can access:
- Cold storage: a low rate for data storage and a high rate for operations. It is optimal for storing a large volume of data with a small number of operations on it.
- Standard storage: a high rate for data storage and a low rate for operations. It is optimal for storing a small amount of data with a large number of operations on it.
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 the average value over the month based on per-second data. The minimum pricing unit is 1 hour of storing 1 MB of data.
Performing operations on data
Operations on data are rated according to the rules:
- The minimum pricing unit for PUT operations is 10.
- The minimum pricing unit for GET and HEAD operations is 100.
- You are not charged for deleting data (the DELETE operation).
Prices until January 1, 2019
Data storage
Prices are specified for a 30-day month. For shorter months, the price is higher. For longer months, it is lower.
| Service | Cost of 1 GB per month, without VAT | Cost of 1 GB per month, with VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Standard storage | ₽1.0508 | ₽1.2400 |
| Cold storage | ₽0.5593 | ₽0.6600 |
Here is an example of proportional calculation: let's say the user stores 15 GB of data for 11.5 hours during a month that is 30 days long. The total cost of storage can be calculated using the formula:
Storage_cost = Cost_per_GB_per_month * 15 * 11.5 / 24 / 30
Operations on data
| Service | Cost, rubles without VAT | Cost, rubles with VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Standard storage | ||
| 1,000 PUT or POST operations | ₽0.2542 | ₽0.3000 |
| 10,000 GET or HEAD operations | ₽0.2034 | ₽0.2400 |

- Error code 403 for a GET or HEAD operation.
- Error code 404 for a PUT, POST, GET, or HEAD operation.
Prices for standard storage are applied when calculating costs.
