Provisioned throughput

Hello,

Below are the rough estimates created according to your question

Estimated Cost with Bursting Throughput:

400 GB storage: $40 (assuming $0.10/GB) 900 TB of read data: $25,000 - $27,000 (based on ETDataAccess-Bytes) Total: $25,040 - $27,040

Calculating Required Provisioned Throughput:

TotalIOBytes/minute: 62,990,890,424 / 60 = 1,049,848,173.73 bytes/second

Converting to MB/s: 1,049,848,173.73 / 1048576 = 1001.25 MB/s

Required provisioned throughput: 1000 MB/s -1200MB/s (Approx)

Estimated Cost with Provisioned Throughput:

400 GB storage: $40

1000 MB/s throughput: $10,000 (assuming $10/MB/s)

Total: $10,040 (Approx)

Potential Savings:

$14,960 - $17,000 per month with Provisioned Throughput

Based on estimated costs, Provisioned Throughput appears significantly cheaper for your high-read workload. However, consider:

Workload Variability:

• If traffic patterns fluctuate unpredictably, Bursting Throughput might be more cost-effective.
• Throughput Monitoring: Continuously monitor usage to ensure you're not under-provisioning or overpaying.
• Cost Optimization Strategies: Explore data compression, caching, or tiered storage to further reduce costs.

Recommendations:

• Start with Provisioned Throughput: Begin with provisioned throughput and monitor usage closely.
• Adjust as Needed: Adjust throughput levels based on actual usage patterns.
• Consider Lifecycle Management: Optimize costs by moving infrequently accessed data to Infrequent Access (IA) storage classes.
• Leverage AWS Support: Consult AWS support for more tailored recommendations based on your specific workload and requirements.

Thanks
