This topic describes the instance types and pricing of ApsaraDB for OceanBase.
Instance types
ApsaraDB for OceanBase provides two types of database instances: cluster instances and tenant instances.
Cluster instances: In ApsaraDB for OceanBase, a cluster instance is the combination of OceanBase Database and a set of cloud resources required by it for running. It is associated with several server nodes and cloud resources such as the virtual private cloud (VPC).
Tenant instances: A tenant instance is a separate computing resource that you can obtain after a tenant is virtually isolated in a large cluster based on the unique tenant isolation technology of ApsaraDB for OceanBase. You can create a database in a tenant instance and create tables in the database to independently provide services for upper-layer apps. ApsaraDB for OceanBase supports exclusive and shared tenant instances. In this version, only shared tenant instances are provided. Users of a shared tenant instance use the same console and storage. Currently, only the 1C4G (1 CPU core and 4 GB of memory) and 2C8G specifications are supported. Shared tenant instances are suitable when high availability is not a must, and therefore are mainly used by individual developers or in scenarios that deal with a small amount of data. We recommend that you do not use shared tenant instances in high availability scenarios such as the core business systems of an enterprise.
The following table describes the differences between a cluster instance and a tenant instance.
Comparison item | Cluster instance | Tenant instance |
Syntax | Both MySQL and Oracle | MySQL |
Specifications | 4 to 104 cores | 1 to 2 cores |
Product series | Standard Edition (Cloud Disk), Standard Edition (Local Disk), and Standard Edition (History Database) | Standard Edition (Cloud Disk) |
Billing method | Subscription and pay-as-you-go | Pay-as-you-go |
Backup and restore | Supported | Not supported |
Monitoring and alerts | Supported | Supported |
Specification scaling | Manual and scheduled | Manual |
SLA | 99.99% | 99.99% |
Deployment mode | Multi-IDC, dual-IDC, and single-IDC deployment | Single-IDC deployment |
Scenario | Cluster instances provide highly available, high-performance, and highly scalable database services to support the storage and processing of massive amounts of data. Cluster instances are suitable for scenarios with massive and highly concurrent requests. | Tenant instances provide isolated resources and permission management to support tenant-level resource isolation and security control. Tenant instances are suitable for scenarios where resources are shared by multiple tenants. |
At present, data cannot be migrated from a tenant instance to a cluster instance. The corresponding feature may be provided in later versions.
Billing methods
ApsaraDB for OceanBase supports two billing methods: subscription (PREPAY) and pay-as-you-go (POSTPAY). The product price is determined by the instance type, series, region, deployment solution, node specifications, node quantity, storage type, and storage size.
Subscription
You must pay for the computing nodes when you create a database instance. You can select a fixed storage capacity or specify a custom storage capacity.
Pay-as-you-go
You do not need to pay any fee when you create a database instance. You can select a fixed storage capacity or specify a custom storage capacity. The computing nodes and storage space occupied by the instance are charged on an hourly basis. The payment is deducted from your account on an hourly basis.
NoteOceanBase Database is billed by hour, and a partial hour will be charged as a full hour. Always keep a sufficient balance to avoid service interruptions.

Tenant instances support only ESSD PL1.
The prices in the preceding table are those of a single replica. The actual storage fees are calculated by using the following formula: Price of a single replica × Number of replicas × (Storage size - Default storage size).
In single-IDC and dual-IDC deployment, two full-featured replicas and one log replica (2F1L) are deployed, with two replicas being stored. In multi-IDC deployment, three full-featured replicas (3F) are deployed, with three replicas being stored. For more information about deployment solutions, see Deployment solutions.
