Questions
- How many DBUs does Standard_L8s_v3 use on Databricks?
- Standard_L8s_v3 uses 2.75 DBUs an hour on Databricks classic compute without Photon. With Photon it uses 6.88 DBUs an hour on Jobs Compute and 5.5 on All-Purpose Compute, as Databricks' price list gives them.
- How much does Standard_L8s_v3 cost an hour on Databricks?
- In East US, 1 Standard_L8s_v3 node on Jobs Compute costs $1.52 an hour: $0.825 to Databricks for 2.75 DBUs at $0.30 each, and $0.696 to Azure for the machine. On All-Purpose Compute the same node costs $2.21 an hour, and on Lakeflow pipelines Core $1.52. A cluster pays this for every worker and for the driver.
- Does Photon cost more on Standard_L8s_v3?
- Yes, by the hour: with Photon, 1 Standard_L8s_v3 node on Jobs Compute in East US costs $2.76 an hour instead of $1.52, because it uses 6.88 DBUs an hour instead of 2.75. It saves money only when the job finishes fast enough to make up the difference.
- Which region is cheapest for Standard_L8s_v3 on Databricks?
- East US, at $1.52 an hour for 1 node on Jobs Compute, against $1.94 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_L8s_v3 on the other clouds?
- The nearest worker types of the same kind are i4i.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 from Standard_L8s_v3?
- Standard_L8s_v3 is the smallest size of its family listed here. One size up is Standard_L16s_v3, at 5.5 DBUs an hour.
