Aws Redshift Plans Pricing
Amazon Redshift offers two deployment shapes — Serverless (per-RPU-hour) and Provisioned (per-node-hour for RA3 / DC2 / DS2). Both bill compute separately from Redshift Managed Storage (RMS), Spectrum scans, concurrency scaling beyond the 1-hour-per-day free credit, and cross-region data transfer. Reserved Instances offer up to ~75% discount over on-demand for provisioned clusters.
