Dremio Compute Units

Dremio Cloud uses Dremio Compute Units (DCUs to measure compute power consumption. A DCU represents an abstract unit of processing capacity used by Dremio Cloud engines. The number of DCUs consumed per hour depends on the engine size - larger engines consume more DCUs and therefore incur higher hourly costs.

The table below provides approximate DCU consumption rates and on-demand pricing for Dremio Cloud engines. Actual costs may vary depending on configuration, workload, and any applicable discounts. Prices shown exclude paid support and additional service fees.
