Amazon FSx for Lustre pricing

With Amazon FSx for Lustre, you only pay for the resources you use and there are no minimum fees or set-up charges. While pricing is quoted on a monthly basis, your usage is prorated by the second, and you are billed for your average usage over a month.

SSD or HDD (provisioned) storage class

• SSD or HDD storage: you pay for the average amount of storage provisioned for your file systems per month, measured in GB-months, as shown in the pricing examples.
  

Metadata IOPS

• With SSD or HDD storage class, a default number of metadata IOPS are included with each file system based on the storage capacity provisioned. You can optionally provision a higher level of metadata IOPS, and you pay for the average IOPS provisioned above the default level included with storage capacity, measured in IOPS-months.

Back-ups

• With back-ups, you pay for the amount of back-up data stored, measured in GB-months. Back-ups are incremental, which means only the changes after your most recent back-up are saved, so you save on storage costs by not duplicating data.

Data transfer

• Data transferred ‘in’ to and ‘out’ from Amazon FSx across Availability Zones or VPC peering connections in the same AWS Region is charged at the rate for data transfer within the same region. Data transferred ‘out’ from Amazon FSx to another region (including for copying back-ups across regions) is charged at the inter-region rate for the specific inter-region transfer.
