Reserved nodes are available in three varieties – No Upfront, Partial Upfront, and All Upfront – that let you optimize your MemoryDB costs based on your expected usage.
No Upfront – This option provides access to a reserved node without requiring an upfront payment. Your No Upfront reserved node bills a discounted hourly rate for every hour within the term, regardless of usage, and no upfront payment is required.
Partial Upfront – This option requires a part of the reserved node to be paid upfront. The remaining hours in the term are billed at a discounted hourly rate, regardless of usage.
All Upfront – Full payment is made at the start of the term, with no other costs incurred for the remainder of the term regardless of the number of hours used.
All three offering types are available in one-year and three-year terms.
