Questions
- How many DBUs does Standard_D4ds_v5 use on Databricks?
- Standard_D4ds_v5 uses 1 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 2.5 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 2 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does Standard_D4ds_v5 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In East US, 1 Standard_D4ds_v5 node on Jobs Compute costs $0.526 an hour: $0.30 to Databricks for 1 DBUs at $0.30 each, and $0.226 to Azure for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $0.776 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $0.526. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on Standard_D4ds_v5?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 Standard_D4ds_v5 node on Jobs Compute in East US costs $0.976 an hour instead of $0.526, because it uses 2.5 DBUs an hour instead of 1. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for Standard_D4ds_v5 on Databricks?
- East US, at $0.526 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $0.66 in Brazil South, the dearest of the 17 regions listed here that offer it. Databricks charges the same for a DBU of Jobs Compute in every Azure region listed, so the gap is the machine.
- What is the same size as Standard_D4ds_v5 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are m6id.xlarge on AWS and n2-standard-4 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 from Standard_D4ds_v5?
- Standard_D4ds_v5 is the smallest size of its family listed here. One size up is Standard_D8ds_v5, at 2 DBUs an hour.
