Amazon Redshift Pricing Overview

Amazon Redshift costs less to operate than any other data warehouse. Start small at $0.25 per hour and scale up to petabytes of data and thousands of concurrent users. Choose what is right for your business needs, with the ability to grow storage without over-provisioning compute, and the flexibility to grow compute capacity without increasing storage costs.

What to expect
First, choose the best cluster configuration for your needs by learning more about the node types in the following section. You can quickly scale your cluster, pause and resume the cluster, and switch between node types with a single API call or a few clicks in the Amazon Redshift console. You’ll see on-demand pricing before making your selection, and later you may choose to purchase reserved nodes for significant discounts.

Once you make your selection, you may wish to use elastic resize to easily adjust the amount of provisioned compute capacity within minutes for steady-state processing. With resize scheduler, you can add and remove nodes on a daily or weekly basis to optimize cost and get the best performance. For dynamic workloads, you can use Concurrency Scaling to automatically provision additional compute capacity and only pay for what you use on a per-second basis after exhausting the free credits.
