Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/12 months |
|---|---|---|
IBM Confluent Cloud | Metered Usage of Confluent Cloud | $20,000.00 |
Dimension | Description | Cost/unit |
|---|---|---|
IBM Confluent Cloud - 12 months overage | 12 months committed spend overage | $0.01 |
IBM Confluent Cloud - 24 months overage | 24 months committed spend overage | $0.01 |
IBM Confluent Cloud - 36 months overage | 36 months committed spend overage | $0.01 |
Dimensions summary
This listing bills through a contract with committed spend plus metered usage. You pick a commitment term of 12, 24, or 36 months. Each term has its own overage rate that applies once your usage passes the committed amount. The metered usage dimension charges for actual consumption of the platform. Together, these dimensions let you lock in a spend commitment for a set period while paying overage rates for usage beyond it. Longer terms give you a different overage rate than shorter terms. All dimensions measure usage in units.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Usage reflects your actual consumption of the platform. This includes data streamed in and out, storage held in topics, and use of added services like stream processing, connectors, and schema management. Each of these activities contributes to your metered usage total measured in units.
Once your usage exceeds the committed spend for your term, the overage rate applies to the extra usage. The overage rate matches your chosen term of 12, 24, or 36 months. You keep consuming without interruption, and only usage beyond the commitment bills at the overage rate.
Metered usage tracks actual consumption. Data movement, stored topic data, and running services like stream processing accrue charges. Resources you delete or stop no longer generate those usage charges. The quick start guide advises deleting connectors, topics, and clusters to avoid unexpected charges when you finish.
