Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Redshift Spectrum queries against S3 cost $5/TB scanned, billed separately from cluster compute

2

Concurrency Scaling beyond 1 free hour/day costs the same per-second rate as your provisioned cluster

3

Cross-region data sharing incurs data transfer fees ($0.01-$0.02/GB)

4

DC2 nodes bundle storage, so you pay for unused storage capacity if your data is small

5

RA3 managed storage costs ($0.024/GB) add up quickly for multi-TB datasets

6

Cluster snapshots stored in S3 incur additional storage costs beyond the free automated backup period

7
