Components

There are four FSx for OpenZFS components to consider when storing and managing your data: SSD storage, SSD IOPS, throughput capacity, and backups.

You pay for the average amount of storage provisioned for your file systems per month, measured in gigabyte-months (GB-months), as shown in the pricing examples.

By default, 3 IOPS are included for every GB of SSD storage. You can optionally provision a higher level of IOPS, and you pay for the average IOPS provisioned above your included rate for the month, measured in IOPS-months.

You pay for the average throughput capacity you’ve provisioned for your file systems per month, measured in "MB/s-months." On Multi-AZ file systems, the cost to transfer data between Availability Zones (AZ) for replication of data and for inter-AZ access is included in the throughput capacity price. 

With backups, you pay only for the storage space consumed. Backups are incremental, which means that only the changes after your most recent backup are saved, so you save on storage costs by not duplicating data. You pay for the average amount of backup storage consumed per month, measured in GB-months.

Pricing example 1: Multi-AZ Deployment

Assume you want to store up to 10 TB of enterprise application share and user share data using Multi-AZ SSD storage in the US East (N. Virginia) Region. Based on typical compression savings of 50%, you provision 5 TB storage capacity for you file system, and based on your workload preformance needs, you provision 320 MBps of throughput capacity. Assume you have an average backup storage of 5 TB during the month. 

Storage: 5 TB * $0.18 per GB-month = $922/mo

Throughput: 320 MB/s * $0.87 per MB/s-month = $278/mo

Total monthly charge (excluding backups): $1,200 ($0.117/GB-month for 10TB of data)

Backups: 5 TB * $0.05 GB-month = $256/mo

Total monthly charge (including backups): $1,456 ($0.142/GB-month for 10TB of data)

Pricing example 2: Single-AZ 2 Deployment

Assume you want to store 128 GB of data for short-term image ML training workload on Single-AZ 2 SSD storage in the US Easy (N. Virginia) Region. You provision a 128GB Single-AZ file system with throughput capacity of 160 MBps, and use this file system for 12 hours (43,200 seconds) in a 30-day month. Assume you have not activated compression, and have not used any backup storage. 

Total charge:

Storage: 128 GB * $0.09 per GB-month * 43,200 seconds / (86,400 seconds/day * 30 day-month) = $0.192

Throughput: 160 MBps x $0.26 per MB/s-month * 43,200 seconds / (86,400 seconds/day * 30 day-month) = $0.693

Total charge: $0.885 ($1.77/day for a file system)
