Understanding Openflow costs¶
By using Openflow, you can incur the following types of costs:
Cost category |
Description |
|---|---|
Infrastructure (only for BYOC configuration) |
Applicable only for BYOC deployments, you directly pay your cloud provider, for example, AWS, for the underlying infrastructure provisioned in your environment to run Openflow. This primarily includes compute (for runtimes you provision to run the connectors and for managing the runtimes), networking, and storage costs and will appear on your CSP bill. |
Ingestion |
Cost for loading data into Snowflake using services such as Snowpipe or Snowpipe Streaming, based on data volume. Appears on your Snowflake bill under respective ingestion services. Initial database snapshots through certain connectors may require a standard Snowflake warehouse, incurring additional warehouse costs. |
Logging |
Standard Snowflake charges for sending logs and metrics for Openflow deployments and runtimes to your event table within Snowflake. |
