Questions
- How many DBUs does Standard_L32s_v3 use on Databricks?
- Standard_L32s_v3 uses 11 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 27.5 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 22 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does Standard_L32s_v3 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In East US, 1 Standard_L32s_v3 node on Jobs Compute costs $6.08 an hour: $3.30 to Databricks for 11 DBUs at $0.30 each, and $2.78 to Azure for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $8.83 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $6.08. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on Standard_L32s_v3?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 Standard_L32s_v3 node on Jobs Compute in East US costs $11.03 an hour instead of $6.08, because it uses 27.5 DBUs an hour instead of 11. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for Standard_L32s_v3 on Databricks?
- East US, at $6.08 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $7.75 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_L32s_v3 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are i4i.8xlarge on AWS and n2-standard-32 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_L32s_v3?
- One size down is Standard_L16s_v3, at 5.5 DBUs an hour; one size up is Standard_L48s_v3, at 16.5. 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.
