Amazon FSx for Lustre Pricing

File system storage: You pay for your use of a file system based on its storage capacity measured in gigabyte-months (GB-Months).

Persistent file systems are ideal for longer-term storage and workloads. Data is replicated and file servers are replaced if they fail. Scratch file systems are ideal for temporary storage and shorter-term processing of data. Data is not replicated and does not persist if a file server fails.

SSD storage is optimized for latency-sensitive workloads or workloads requiring the highest levels of IOPS/throughput. HDD storage is optimized for throughput-focused workloads that aren’t latency-sensitive. For HDD-based file systems, the optional SSD cache improves performance by automatically placing your most frequently read data on SSD (the cache size is 20% of your file system size).

Backups: For backup storage, you pay for the amount of backup data stored, measured in gigabytes-months (GB-Months). Backups are incremental, which means only the changes after your most recent backup are saved, so you save on storage costs by not duplicating data.

Data compression: You can use data compression to reduce storage consumption of both your file system storage and your file system backups.

Standard data transfer fees apply for transferring data between Availability Zones (inter-AZ access).

Pricing example

Assume you want to store 2000 GB of data on a file system with at least 50 MB/s of throughput capacity in the China (Beijing Region). Based on a typical data compression savings of 50%, you provision a persistent file system with 1200 GB of storage capacity and per unit storage throughput of 50 MB/s/TiB. For additional data protection, assume you have 1200 GB of backup storage during the month.

Storage: 1200 GB x ¥1.108/GB-month = ¥1,329.6/mo

Backup: 1200 GB x ¥0.315/GB-month = ¥378/mo

Total monthly charge: ¥1,707.6
