Pricing policy for Object Storage before January 1, 2019
This is the old version of the pricing policy that expired on January 1, 2019. For the current Object Storage pricing policy, see Pricing for Object Storage.
What goes into the cost of using Object Storage
The Object Storage usage cost 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 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 the average value over the month based on granulated per-second data. The minimum billable unit is 1 hour of storing 1 MB of data.
Performing operations with data
Data operations are charged according to the following policy:
- The minimum pricing unit for PUT and POST operations is 10.
- The minimum billable unit for GET and HEAD operations is 100.
- You aren't charged for deleting data (the DELETE operation).
Prices before January 1, 2019
Data storage
Prices are given for a 30-day month. For shorter months, the price is higher. For longer months, it's 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 |
Example of proportional calculation: let's say the 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 | ||
