Questions
- How many DBUs does i4i.32xlarge use on Databricks?
- i4i.32xlarge uses 44 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 127.6 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 88 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does i4i.32xlarge cost an hour on Databricks?
- In US East (N. Virginia), 1 i4i.32xlarge node on Jobs Compute costs $17.58 an hour: $6.60 to Databricks for 44 DBUs at $0.15 each, and $10.98 to AWS for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $35.18 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $19.78. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on i4i.32xlarge?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 i4i.32xlarge node on Jobs Compute in US East (N. Virginia) costs $30.12 an hour instead of $17.58, because it uses 127.6 DBUs an hour instead of 44. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for i4i.32xlarge on Databricks?
- US East (N. Virginia), at $17.58 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $24.13 in South America (São Paulo), the dearest of the 16 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.
- What is the same size as i4i.32xlarge on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are Standard_L80s_v3 on Azure and n2-standard-80 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 down from i4i.32xlarge?
- i4i.32xlarge is the largest size of its family listed here. One size down is i4i.16xlarge, at 22 DBUs an hour.
