Pricing for Managed Service for Apache Kafka^®

Cluster status

Pricing is applied differently depending on the cluster status:

• For a Running cluster, you are charged both for the computing resources and the size of storage.
• For a Stopped cluster, you are only charged for the storage size.

What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for Apache Kafka^®

The cost of Managed Service for Apache Kafka^® usage is based on:

• Storage type and size (disk space).

• Computing resources allocated to cluster hosts (including ZooKeeper hosts);

• Volume of outgoing traffic from Yandex.Cloud to the internet.

In all calculations, 1 GB = 2³⁰ bytes.

Use of cluster hosts

The cost is calculated for each hour of operation of the host in accordance with the allocated computing resources. Supported resource configurations are listed in the Host classes section, prices for using vCPU and RAM — in the Prices section.

You can choose the host class for Apache Kafka^® broker hosts and ZooKeeper hosts (as appropriate for the expected replication load).

The minimum billing unit is one hour (for example, the cost of 1.5 hours of operation is the same as the cost of 2 hours of operation). You aren't charged for time when the broker host or ZooKeeper host isn't performing its main functions.

Disk space usage

The following is charged:

• Storage allocated for clusters.
  • Storage on fast local disks (local-ssd) can only be ordered for clusters with more than 3 broker hosts in 100 GB increments.

The cost is specified for one month of use. The minimum billing unit is 1 GB per hour (for example, the cost of storing 1 GB for 1.5 hours is equal to the cost of storage for 2 hours).

Example of cluster cost calculation

For example, you created a cluster:

• with 3 Apache Kafka^® broker hosts with the host class s2.micro (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM),
• with 3 automatically created ZooKeeper hosts with the class b2.medium (2 vCPU, 50% vCPU, 4 GB RAM),
• with 100 GB of standard network storage.

Cost per hour for all hosts: 3 × (2 × ₽1.05 + 8 × ₽0.28) + 3 × (2 × ₽0.49 + 4 × ₽0.20) = ₽18.36

The total cost of the cluster in the month (hosts and storage): 720 × ₽18.36 + 100 × ₽2.2881 = ₽13,448.01

Discount for committed volumes of services (CVoS)

You can get a guaranteed discount on Yandex.Cloud resource usage when you plan for one or three years ahead. To see the resources you can get a discount on:

1. Go to Billing.
2. Click on the desired billing account.
3. Choose Commitments in the left-hand menu.

A CVoS guarantees a discount on usage, but doesn't guarantee the availability of the resources ordered. Read more about CVoS in the Billing documentation.

Managed Service for Apache Kafka^® provides two kinds of CVoS: on vCPUs and RAM on the hosts you plan to use in clusters. In the management console, you can see potential savings from using a CVoS at the current resource usage. You can also pre-estimate your monthly payments for the desired number of vCPUs and RAM.
