Amazon KnowledgeBase with OpenSearchServerless - minimum price

0

Hi everyone, I was trying to create a knowledge base with amazon recommended option "Quick create a new opensearch vector". Anyway, it seems that the pricing is not really clear. I found somewhere that the minimum pricing should be 4 OCUs multiplied by the hourly tariff of the OCU in the specified region. In other places i have seen that the minimum OCUs reserved with the default recommended option are 2, leading to a cost of aorund 170 - 200 dollars.

Anyone can give me the correct answer? Thanks, E

Hello.

I think a minimum of 4 OCU is correct.
OpenSearch Serverless has a minimum size of 4 OCU, 2 OCU for indexing and 2 OCU for searching.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/serverless-scaling.html

When you create your first collection, OpenSearch Serverless instantiates a total of four OCUs (two for indexing and two for search). These OCUs always exist, even when there's no indexing or search activity. All subsequent collections can share these OCUs (except for collections with unique AWS KMS keys, which instantiate their own set of four OCUs). If needed, OpenSearch Serverless automatically scales out and adds additional OCUs as your indexing and search usage grows. When traffic on your collection endpoint decreases, capacity scales back down to the minimum number of OCUs required for your data size. At most, it will scale down to 2 OCUs for indexing and 2 OCUs for search.
