Questions
- How many DBUs does Standard_D8ds_v5 use on Databricks?
- Standard_D8ds_v5 uses 2 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 5 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 4 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does Standard_D8ds_v5 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In East US, 1 Standard_D8ds_v5 node on Jobs Compute costs $1.05 an hour: $0.60 to Databricks for 2 DBUs at $0.30 each, and $0.452 to Azure for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $1.55 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $1.05. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on Standard_D8ds_v5?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 Standard_D8ds_v5 node on Jobs Compute in East US costs $1.95 an hour instead of $1.05, because it uses 5 DBUs an hour instead of 2. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for Standard_D8ds_v5 on Databricks?
- East US, at $1.05 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $1.32 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_D8ds_v5 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are m6id.2xlarge on AWS and n2-standard-8 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 Standard_D8ds_v5?
- One size down is Standard_D4ds_v5, at 1 DBUs an hour; one size up is Standard_D16ds_v5, at 4. 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.
