Questions
- How many DBUs does Standard_L64s_v3 use on Databricks?
- Standard_L64s_v3 uses 22 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 55 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 44 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does Standard_L64s_v3 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In East US, 1 Standard_L64s_v3 node on Jobs Compute costs $12.17 an hour: $6.60 to Databricks for 22 DBUs at $0.30 each, and $5.57 to Azure for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $17.67 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $12.17. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on Standard_L64s_v3?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 Standard_L64s_v3 node on Jobs Compute in East US costs $22.07 an hour instead of $12.17, because it uses 55 DBUs an hour instead of 22. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for Standard_L64s_v3 on Databricks?
- East US, at $12.17 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $15.50 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_L64s_v3 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are i4i.16xlarge on AWS and n2-standard-64 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_L64s_v3?
- One size down is Standard_L48s_v3, at 16.5 DBUs an hour; one size up is Standard_L80s_v3, at 27.5. 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.
