Amazon Redshift announces a new billing model for manual snapshots on Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazon Redshift RG instances. With this enhancement, Amazon Redshift now meters manual snapshot storage based on the unique data blocks stored across your snapshots rather than the total size of each individual snapshot. This results in lower manual snapshot costs for customers who maintain multiple snapshots.
Customers who maintain multiple manual snapshots for disaster recovery, testing, or long-term retention will see reduced storage costs. With this new billing model, you can take more frequent manual snapshots to achieve a better recovery point objective (RPO) without proportional cost increases, enabling more robust disaster recovery strategies. The new billing model automatically applies to both existing and new manual snapshots.
The new manual snapshot billing model is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon Redshift Serverless and Amazon Redshift RG instances are available. To learn more about Amazon Redshift snapshots, please visit our documentation or the blog.
