Questions
- How many DBUs does n2-highcpu-64 use on Databricks?
- n2-highcpu-64 uses 8.64 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute, the same on jobs, all-purpose and pipeline compute. The price list gives no Photon rate for it.
- How much does n2-highcpu-64 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In Iowa (us-central1), 1 n2-highcpu-64 node on Jobs Compute costs $3.59 an hour: $1.30 to Databricks for 8.64 DBUs at $0.15 each, and $2.29 to Google Cloud for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $7.05 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $4.02. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Which region is cheapest for n2-highcpu-64 on Databricks?
- Iowa (us-central1), at $3.59 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $4.97 in Dammam (me-central2), the dearest of the 15 regions listed here that offer it. Databricks charges the same for a DBU of Jobs Compute in every Google Cloud region listed, so the gap is the machine.
- What is the same size as n2-highcpu-64 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are c6id.16xlarge on AWS and Standard_D64ds_v5 on Azure. 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 n2-highcpu-64?
- One size down is n2-highcpu-48, at 6.48 DBUs an hour; one size up is n2-highcpu-80, at 10.8. 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.
