Neptune Database cluster configuration

With Neptune, you can configure your database clusters to run cost effectively, regardless of the scaling needs or evolving data access patterns of your applications. You have the flexibility to choose between the Amazon Neptune Standard and Amazon Neptune I/O-Optimized configuration options to best match the price-performance and price-predictability requirements of your unique workload characteristics. Your database instance, storage, and I/O charges will vary based on the option you choose. To learn more, visit Amazon Neptune storage and reliability.

Neptune Standard offers cost-effective pricing for the vast majority of applications running on Neptune with typical data access patterns and low to moderate I/O usage. With Neptune Standard, you pay for your database instances, storage, and pay-per-request I/O.

Neptune I/O-Optimized delivers improved price performance for I/O-intensive applications. If your I/O spend exceeds 25% of your total Neptune database spend, you can save up to 40% on costs for I/O-intensive workloads with Neptune I/O-Optimized. With Neptune I/O-Optimized, you only pay for your database instances and storage usage, and there are zero charges for read and write I/O operations. Neptune I/O-Optimized offers predictable pricing for all applications regardless of evolving data access patterns or I/O usage. Neptune I/O-Optimized eliminates variability in I/O spend.

On-Demand Instance Pricing

On-Demand Instances let you pay for your database by the hour with no long-term commitments or upfront fees. This frees you from the cost and complexity of planning and purchasing database capacity ahead of your needs. On-Demand pricing lets you pay as you go and is ideal for development, testing and other short-lived workloads.

Instance pricing applies to both primary instances, used for read-write workloads, and Amazon Neptune replicas, used to scale reads and enhance failover. Neptune uses Multi-AZ architecture to failover to one of your replicas if an outage occurs. The cost of Multi-AZ deployments is simply the cost of the primary instance plus the cost of each Neptune replica. To maximize availability, we recommend placing at least one replica in a different Availability Zone from the primary instance.

Instances charges will vary based on the database cluster configuration you choose to best match the price-performance and price-predictability needs of your application. All instances in a database cluster will either be charged the price for the Neptune Standard or Neptune I/O-Optimized configuration.

T4g and T3 CPU Credits

Amazon Neptune T4g and T3 medium instances run in Unlimited mode, which means that you will be charged if your average CPU utilization over a rolling 24-hour period exceeds the baseline of the instance. CPU Credits are charged at ¥ 1.032 per vCPU-Hour. The CPU Credit pricing is the same for all T4g and T3 instance sizes across all regions. For more information on how unlimited burstable performance instances work and how it is priced, see Unlimited mode concepts.

Database Storage and IOs

Neptune storage is billed in per GB-month increments at the rates shown in the following table for the Neptune Standard and Neptune I/O-Optimized configurations. With Neptune Standard, you pay for the storage and I/O operations that your Neptune database consumes. I/O charges may vary significantly depending on workload and database engine.

Region: China (Beijing)

Storage Rate ¥ 0.67 per GB-month ¥ 1.507 per GB-month
I/O Rate ¥ 1.330 per 1 million requests Included

Region: China (Ningxia)

Storage Rate ¥ 0.596 per GB-month ¥ 1.341 per GB-month
I/O Rate ¥ 1.192 per 1 million requests Included

Backup Storage

Backup storage for Amazon Neptune is the storage associated with your automated database backups and any customer-initiated database cluster snapshots. Increasing your backup retention period or taking database cluster snapshots increases the backup storage consumed.

  • There is no additional charge for backup storage of up to 100% of your total Neptune database storage for a region. (Based on our experience as database administrators, the vast majority of databases require less raw storage for a backup than for the primary dataset, meaning that most customers will never pay for backup storage.)
    • For example, if you have 2 active Neptune database clusters each with 300 GB-month of consumed database storage, we provide up to 600 GB-month of backup storage at no additional charge.
  • Backup storage beyond this amount and backups stored after your database cluster is terminated are billed at storage rates in the table below:

Region: China (Beijing)

Storage Snapshot Rate ¥ 0.180 per GB-month

Region: China (Ningxia)

Storage Snapshot Rate ¥ 0.157 per GB-month
