Pricing
Different storage options are available based on the redundancy level and the level of throughput desired per TB of storage provisioned
Pricing example 1
Assume you have a scratch file system in the US East (N. Virginia) region, which has been provisioned with 4800 GB of storage capacity, and you spin up your file system for an 8-hour workload every day and then shut it down. You do this for 30 days (a month).
Total workload charge:
$0.14 GB-month / 30 / 24 = $0.000194/GB-hour
4800 GB x $0.000194/GB-hour x 8 hours x 30 days = $224
Total FSx for Lustre charge for the month: $224
Pricing example 2
Assume you have a persistent file system in the US East (N. Virginia) region, which has been provisioned with 4800 GB of storage capacity and per unit storage throughput of 100 MB/s/TiB, and you retain your file system for 30 days (a month) to execute your long-lived workload then shut it down.
Total workload charge:
$0.19 GB-month / 30 / 24 = $0.000264/GB-hour
4800 GB x $0.000264/GB-hour x 720 hours = $913
Total FSx for Lustre charge for the month: $913
