Questions
- How many DBUs does c6id.4xlarge use on Databricks?
- c6id.4xlarge uses 2.78 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 8.06 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 5.56 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does c6id.4xlarge cost an hour on Databricks?
- In US East (N. Virginia), 1 c6id.4xlarge node on Jobs Compute costs $1.22 an hour: $0.417 to Databricks for 2.78 DBUs at $0.15 each, and $0.806 to AWS for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $2.34 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $1.36. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on c6id.4xlarge?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 c6id.4xlarge node on Jobs Compute in US East (N. Virginia) costs $2.02 an hour instead of $1.22, because it uses 8.06 DBUs an hour instead of 2.78. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for c6id.4xlarge on Databricks?
- US East (N. Virginia), at $1.22 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $1.67 in South America (São Paulo), the dearest of the 13 regions listed here that offer it. Databricks charges the same for a DBU of Jobs Compute in every AWS region listed, so the gap is the machine. US West (N. California), Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta) do not offer it.
- What is the same size as c6id.4xlarge on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are Standard_D16ds_v5 on Azure and n2-highcpu-16 on Google Cloud. Each cloud gives its own DBUs an hour for its types, so compare what a cluster costs in the calculator, not the DBUs alone.
- What is the next size up or down from c6id.4xlarge?
- One size down is c6id.2xlarge, at 1.39 DBUs an hour; one size up is c6id.8xlarge, at 5.56. Within a family, DBUs and the machine price grow with the vCPUs, so 2 nodes of a size cost about what 1 node of twice the size costs.
