Cache for Redis

Billing

Billing items and prices

This topic describes the billing items and price details for Cache for Redis.

Billing items

The following billing items are involved when using Cache for Redis.

For more information about billing methods, refer to Pay-as-you-go and Subscription.

Billing items	Supported billing methods	Billing rules
Instance server node	Pay-as-you-go Subscription	Charges are incurred based on the node specification, billing type, and purchase or usage time you selected when you created the Redis instance. For specific procedures, refer to Creating instance. For more details on server node billing rules and pricing, refer to Instance server nodes billing rules.
(Optional) Additional bandwidth	Pay-as-you-go	If the default bandwidth of the instance cannot meet the peak demand for business traffic (such as time-limited seckill activities), you can increase the instance read and write bandwidth separately without changing the instance specifications. After the bandwidth is increased, the additional bandwidth you choose will be charged according to the size and use time. For specific procedures, refer to Modifying bandwidth. For more details on additional bandwidth billing rules and pricing, refer to Additional bandwidth billing rules. tip The Cache for Redis has officially started billing for additional bandwidth. For details on the billing start time and regions, refer to Additional bandwidth is officially billed.

Instance server node billing rules

Price table

Cache for Redis supports two types of instances: those with sharding cluster enabled and those with sharding cluster disabled. The prices for different instance types vary across regions.

tip

The prices in the table are for a single server node in a single shard in the instance.

For more information on price calculation, refer to Redis price calculator.

Instances with sharding cluster enabled

Instances with sharding cluster disabled

Region	Pay-as-you-go (CNY/GiB/hour)	Subscription (CNY/GiB/month)
China (Guangzhou) China (Beijing) China (Shanghai)	0.094	45
China (Hong Kong)	0.1222	58.5
Asia Pacific (Johor)	0.142	68
Asia Pacific (Jakarta)	0.126	60.48

Calculation method

Instance server node payment = Price of stand-alone server node x Memory size x Number of nodes x Number of shards x Duration

Additional bandwidth billing rules

Price table

If the default bandwidth of the instance cannot meet the peak demand for business traffic (such as time-limited seckill activities), you can increase the instance read and write bandwidth separately without changing the instance specifications. After the bandwidth is increased, the additional bandwidth you choose will be charged according to the size and use time. For specific procedures, refer to Modifying bandwidth.

tip

Additional bandwidth is billed on a gradient basis, meaning that the unit price of the bandwidth will increase as the amount of additional bandwidth increases. Plan your bandwidth usage reasonably. For more details, refer to Efficient bandwidth usage guide.

The prices in the table are all for the additional bandwidth of a single server node in a single shard in the instance. For details on the default bandwidth of each node specification for Redis instances, refer to Instance specifications.

For more information on price calculation, refer to Redis price calculator.

Additional read bandwidth price

Additional write bandwidth price

tip

The default maximum additional read bandwidth displayed on the Redis console is 512 MB/s. If you need to increase the allowed maximum additional read bandwidth, submit a ticket to contact technical support for an application.

Range of read bandwidth (MB/s)	Prices in Chinese regions (CNY/MB/s/hour/shard/node)			Prices in overseas regions (CNY/MB/s/hour/shard/node)
Range of read bandwidth (MB/s)		Mainland China	China (Hong Kong)	Asia Pacific (Johor)	Asia Pacific (Jakarta)
Default read bandwidth for each node spec ~ 288	0.0050	0.0066	0.0061	0.0058
289 ~ 576	0.0066	0.0084	0.0080	0.0075
577 ~ 1152	0.0091	0.0117	0.0110	0.0104
> 1152	0.0126	0.0162	0.0153	0.0144

Calculation method

Additional bandwidth payment = Bandwidth price of a single server node in a single shard × Additional bandwidth size x Number of nodes × Number of shardings × Duration

New instance purchase example

tip

The following purchase examples do not consider any product discounts or variants, and are only used as an example purchase reference. The specific purchase fee is subject to the actual order result of the console.

Starting from August 1, 2021, bill detail fees support up to 6 decimal places. After being summarized into a bill, decimals from the 3rd place onward are truncated. When actual deductions are made from the account, deductions are made to 2 decimal places (i.e., deducted to the cent). For bills issued before this, bill details less than 0.01 yuan will be valued at 0.01 yuan. For more details, refer to Bill issuance rules.

Instance type	Billing method	Scenario	Payment due
Sharding cluster disabled	Subscription	Purchase a new Redis instance with the following configuration: Region: China (Beijing) Number of shards: 1 Memory specification per shard: 2 GiB Number of nodes in a single shard: 3 Purchase duration: 1 month	40 CNY/GiB/month/node × 3 nodes/shard × 2GiB × 1 shard × 1 month = 240 CNY
Sharding cluster enabled	Pay-as-you-go	Purchase a new Redis instance with the following configuration: Region: China (Beijing) Number of shards: 4 Memory specification per shard: 4 GiB Number of nodes in a single shard: 2 Usage duration: 720 hours (that is 30 days)	0.094 CNY/GiB/hour/node × 2 nodes/shard × 4 GiB × 4 shards × 720 hours = 2165.76 CNY
